SCOTUS gives President Trump power over key jobs in federal agencies

Mostly UNcovered by the LDAMM (Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots). Translated: more power ceded to the president to fire.

From Reuters.com:

SEC judge appointments unconstitutional, U.S. high court says

by Andrew Chung

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court gave presidents more control over key jobs in federal agencies on Thursday, ruling that the way the Securities and Exchange Commission selected in-house judges who enforce investor protection laws violated the U.S. Constitution.

The justices agreed with President Donald Trump’s administration that the SEC, in having low-level staff install administrative law judges, infringed upon powers given to the president in the U.S. Constitution’s “appointments clause” regarding the filling of certain federal posts.

Oh, but wait. It gets better.

The (7 – 2) ruling could reverberate through the federal government, which has nearly 2,000 administrative law judges who decide matters as varied as unfair trade practices, veterans benefits and patent infringement.

Gulp. You mean what is done can be undone by the president? All those sitting Admin Law judges who were perhaps ordained simply by arcane incantations and incense in swinging thuribles?

And perhaps best yet?

The ruling, authored by liberal Justice Elena Kagan, could also make it (BZ’s emphasis) easier for these in-house judges to be fired by a president’s political appointees in agencies rather than being protected from such action, as is currently the case.

An interesting point by Justice Kagan:

Kagan said administrative judges wield powers extensive enough to qualify under the Constitution as “inferior officers” subject to appointment by the president, a federal department head or a court.

Who then focuses on abuse of power next:

Just “as armies can often enforce their will through conventional weapons, so too can administrative judges,” Kagan said.

Another in a continuing series of reasons the Deep State and DC Swamp want President Donald John Trump, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head, to completely disappear. He is upsetting the status quo, bringing light where no light is desired and causing the cockroaches to scatter. Trump is even using pointy cowboy boots to kill said cockroaches when they skitter to once-safe corners.

Yes, I still don’t care for a percentile of what Trump does or says. Still and all, the more he is attacked for doing his job and upholding his campaign promises — and the more the LDAMM insult, minimize, delegitimize or actually attack me and other Conservatives (becoming more physical these days) — the more I stand with President Trump.

He’s crass, he’s rude, he’s an egomaniac (name one president who wasn’t), he’s a bull in a china shop where delicate sensitivities have clearly been offended. “Presidents don’t act that way.” Get over it, you wienies.

What presidents really do is put the United States first.

Just like every other nation does with themselves.

I can smell the LDAMM bed-wetting from here.

  1. The Constitution didn’t give a lot of detail on the limitations of the courts. With administrative judges, appointees can subvert laws with the blessings of those that didn’t have the power to appoint in the first place. With enough in office, rights are removed with the stroke of a bureaucrat’s pen.

    I’ll be interested to watch the results of this decision. There are too many judges that only want to promote an agenda. They need to go, and rights restored.
