Supreme Court rules Trump has unfettered power to fire officials
[NYPOST] A divided Supreme Court on Monday put the brakes on Congress’ attempt to limit the president’s power to remove executive branch officials in a win for President Trump.

The justices ruled, 5-4, that the Constitution requires the president have unfettered discretion to fire the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
the high court rejected arguments that the entire agency should be shut down.

All of the Republican appointees on the high court backed the decision eliminating the restrictions on the firing of leaders of so-called single-member agencies, while all the Democrat-appointed justices said they would have left those limitations in place.

The board was the brainchild of Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren
...The Great White Squaw, Lizzie is the Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts. She traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. She has high cheekbones that stretch all the way to the top of her head. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless...
before her days in elected office, and enacted into law by Congress in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse.

The White House hailed the ruling.

"Today’s decision represents an important victory for the fundamental principle that government officials should be accountable to the American people," press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement.

#1 Yeah, o.k., but I'd rather have had Quisling Roberts vote differently on other issues. But, at least this is "something".

#6 Roberts has become a swing vote (translated as unpredictable flake who is often not guided by the Constitution). He has made some horrible decisions but in this case he voted with the majority. Maybe this will shut up the Dem left about Trump's Constitutional right to fire people.
