Court’s action gives the justices additional time to consider Trump’s formal request to let him fire Rebecca Slaughter
The US supreme court allowed Donald Trump on Monday to keep a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission away from her post for now, temporarily pausing a judicial order that required the reinstatement of the commissioner who the Republican president has sought to oust.
The court’s action, known as an administrative stay, gives the justices additional time to consider Trump’s formal request to let him fire Rebecca Slaughter from the consumer protection agency that enforces antitrust law before her term expires.
The stay was issued by John Roberts, the chief justice who handles emergency filings arising in Washington DC.
- Trump does stupid thing
- Federal courts rule against Trump
- SCOTUS rules with Trump
- Repeat
You forgot 5.
- Everyone goes on social media (cough Lemmy!) and bitches about how it’s the democrats fault, thus giving Republicans more positive light, and democrats more negative light in the minds of other readers.
sigh its… Its a fun cycle.
Next up, Supreme Court allows Trump to remove senator.
They need more time to draft the judicial version of “lol get fucked everyone”
Gotta make sure the check clears. It is Trump, after all.
Trump is a dictator and he touched a lot of kids.
He’s a dick and he’s raped many young underaged girls too.
I genuinely think the republican wait my bad ““conservative”” judges should all be jailed for the length of the term they could serve if we ever get out of this mess.
Pretty soon they’re gonna be like “Y’all know what we’re doing and you know what we’re going to say, and we are not wearing these hot-ass moving blankets anymore either. Fuck all y’all.”
