       #Trump can fire a #Democrat on the Federal Trade Commission while a lawsuit challenging her removal continues, SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts ruled on Monday.
The pause comes after an appeals court found last week that Commissioner #RebeccaSlaughter could be reinstated to her job because Trump had fired her “without cause” in violation of the statute creating the #independent agency that focuses on #consumer protection & #antitrust issues.

       The #Trump admin had filed an emergency appeal to #SCOTUS last week, asking the justices to overturn the appeals court ruling. The high court has not said whether it will take up the case.

       @Nonilex So he can remove her long enough that if she’s reinstated it won’t matter anymore. Cool cool cool.I’m gonna remove the fuel filter from my truck until my Mechanic says I have to put it back. I’m sure everything will be fine.

       @Nonilex Makes no sense.  SCOTUS making crap up again.  What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. SCOTUS constantly flunks the most basic premise of our justice system.

       @Nonilex I'd say, "we may as well not have a supreme court," but it's so much worse. The precedents set are the absolute death of this shithole country.

       @Nonilex what exactly are laws and precedent for? What a bunch of absolute clowns.
