'Absurd': Republican Judge Nails Todd Blanche In 10th Straight Election Scheme LossRoberts Court Expands Trumpnullnullnullnullnullnull

The corrupt MAGA Roberts Court mostly ruled against Donald Trump today, rejecting his appeal in the E Jean Carroll case, protecting mail-in voting and blocked Trump from firing Lisa Cook. BUT, they did give him a big win that is going to be highly consequential. He is now able to fire independent regulators, a power that no other President has ever had. The case was brought by Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter after he fired her shortly after he began his second term. No other President has tried to exert such power over independent regulators - it would have been unheard of. Trump tried it and the Supreme Court has decided that he can do it - and I guess all future Presidents can as well. (Ed. note: You know they'll find a way to prevent a Dem president from doing that) In the 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court gave Trump and all future presidents the power to remove members of supposedly independent federal agencies that carry out functions under the executive branch of government. All 6 conservative justices ruled in Trump's favor, of course. read more
