Don’t worry the minute a Democrat is elected president they’ll reverse that decision. Along with every other power only granted to Trump.

Outcry over supreme court decision to grant Trump power to fire agency chiefs theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j
Legal and labor experts say Trump v Slaughter decision upends settled constitutional law in favor of ‘loyalty test’. #uslaw #uspol #SCOTUS

Justice Sonia Sotomayor called the Slaughter decision “egregiously wrong”, arguing that the majority had upended settled constitutional law in a ruling that, she wrote, “promises to unleash only chaos”.

“Today, the court discards that democratic regime in favor of one that distorts the structure of government to fit the majority’s theory of unitary, total executive control. The result is a president who emerges with far greater power than ever before,” she wrote.
