Ketanji Brown Jackson Argues Presidents Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Fire Bureaucrats Running Independent Agencies — Justice Brett Kavanaugh Shreds Her Argument
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unleashed a full-throttle defense of unelected bureaucrats on Monday during oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, openly arguing that presidents should not be allowed to fire the PhDs, doctors, and so-called “experts” who run America’s “independent commission” scam.In other words, bureaucrats should outrank the elected President of the United States.
The case stems from President Trump’s March decision to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, both Democrat commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission.
Trump acted squarely within Article II, which vests all executive power in the President.
The Supreme Court on Monday held explosive oral arguments for over two hours.
During the argument, Justice Jackson launched into a “No Kings” rant, claiming that presidents should have almost no control over scientists, economists, regulators, and other “experts” in Washington’s bureaucratic empire.
According to Jackson, the President, elected by millions of Americans, should NOT control:
Jackson invoked warnings about “monarchy,” suggesting that letting the President fire bureaucrats would somehow place America on the road to kingship.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh weighed in with a devastating hypothetical.
Justice Kavanaugh:
“I want to give you a chance to deal with the hard hypothetical. When both Houses of Congress and the President are controlled by the same party, they create a lot of these independent agencies or extend some of the current independent agencies into these kinds of situations so as to thwart future Presidents of the opposite party.”
