In twin rulings, the justices said President Trump could fire independent regulators for any reason but explicitly affirmed the Fed's independence and said its leaders could not be fired at will.
Don't let this slip by you while celebrating his defeat in other areas. This is a backdoor effort to return to the era of "To the Victor goes the Spoils".

Yes it's a bad decision but it will make it easier to fire every sleeper agent Trump tried to hide in the federal workforce once he's removed form office.

That's true. And I sure do appreciate the positive spin!
He only has 2 years to destroy federal agencies. But it will take decades to repair and thousands more professional civil servants will probably lose their jobs and careers and be replaced by loyalists. And who knows how many will be negatively affected and harmed as he undoes centuries of polices.

We talking civil war?
I'm not sure people understand this yet, but republicans are making sure they won't lose Congress in the November midterms.

This court is utter shit.
They just barely ruled against Trump on mail-in ballots being postmarked before election day are valid. 5:4. That was a brainless decsion that should have been 9:0.

Get rid of the good-for-nothing lickspittles of the unelected SCOTUS Politburo one at a time-- or en masse -- the old Roman way.

US Constitution: Article I
"The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers"
"The Senate shall chuse their other Officers"
Congress should just make all these officials "Officers of Congress".
Then, the Executive Branch can't touch them.
