DC Appeals Court Blocks Trump's Firing of FTC Commissioner, Citing Precedent

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the statutory protection of an FTC Commissioner, directly challenging the Supreme Court to either reaffirm or overturn 90 years of precedent regarding presidential removal powers.

Short Summary

  • The DC Circuit ruled 2-1 to block Trump's attempt to fire FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter without cause.
  • The majority opinion fiercely relied on the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor ruling, forcing the Supreme Court to directly address the precedent.
  • The ruling admonished the Supreme Court, stating it is their job to overturn precedent, not the appellate court's.
  • The result leaves the FTC with zero Democrats, potentially violating the agency’s statutory structure concerning party balance.
  • This sets up a major confrontation over executive power as the case heads toward the Supreme Court for final adjudication.

This segment analyzes the court's strong language demanding the Supreme Court act, the dissenting opinion supporting immediate firing, and the broader implications for independent agencies referenced alongside the Federal Reserve.

Description

Trump has suffered his 3 major court losses in the last 4 days, this time in a 2-1 ruling of the DC Federal Court of Appeals. Trump’s firing of the lone democrat on the Federal Trade Commission without proper “cause” has been blocked. But Michael Popok also reports that a frustrated appellate panel in its ruling has also admonished their bosses at the Supreme Court to “do their job” and decide to keep or overturn 90-year-old precedent about who can and cannot be fired by the President!
