Liberal Justice Makes Dire Prediction about Trump Ruling

Jonathan Ernst / REUTERSThe three liberal-leaning justices on the Supreme Court are sounding the alarm about the latest ruling from the high court that vastly expanded executive power. The high court in a 5-4 ruling Monday blocked Trump’s attempt to fire Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook, deciding that “Congress, not the courts,” must change federal law on removing members of independent agencies, as the ruling said Fed governors are explicitly protected by “for cause” statutes.But justices handed Trump an expansion of presidential authority as, in a 6-3 ruling, it said that he could fire members of independent regulatory agencies at will, overturning a 91-year-old precedent.

Former prosecutor unnerved by Justice John Roberts

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann expressed deep concern about the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Trump v. Slaughter, which overturned 91 years of precedent allowing presidents to fire independent agency members without cause. Weissmann highlighted Chief Justice Roberts' use of the word secrecy when describing executive branch vitality, calling the language chilling. He argued the ruling extends Roberts' expansive presidential power theory from the Trump v. United States immunity case. Weissmann warned the decision unleashes political patronage and deemed it a very ahistoric decision with significant long-term consequences. He cautioned against allowing presidents to replace career officials based on party affiliation, invoking Justice Robert Jackson's warnings from his Nazi prosecution work at Nuremberg. You do not want a Republican president to come in and fire every Democrat, and you do not want every Democratic president to come in and fire every Republican, he said. Weissmann also criticized the court's originalism claims as laughable, pointing to its simultaneous decision protecting the Federal Reserve as evidence of result-oriented judging.Watch the video below.

BARBER: The biggest lie in global politics is the ‘Rules-Based International Order’

The legal system in developed countries has, in short, two key aspects that make it function: a structure for adjudicating legal disputes and a robust enforcement mechanism. If a person is suspected of violating a law, there is a detailed process for summoning that person to court. If they refuse to comply with a court order, police are dispatched to enforce it. On the other hand, if courts decline to prosecute violations or police choose not to execute court orders, the law effectively ceases to exist. Politicians and civic organizations may condemn violations, demand action, and hold meetings, but such rhetoric becomes meaningless when the institutions are unwilling to act. We have seen this dynamic play out in some US cities in recent years. Rules are followed only when they are enforced — and enforcement may require the credible threat or use of force.
