Supreme Court signals it will give Trump more control of government

The Supreme Court showed support for President Trump’s claim that he can fire members of independent agencies. During oral arguments, the conservative justices focused on the case of Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, whom Trump dismissed from the Federal Trade Commission. Justice Kavanaugh questioned the accountability of independent agencies, while Chief Justice Roberts challenged the relevance of a 1935 precedent that has historically protected these agencies. He suggested that today's FTC has significant power that should fall under presidential authority. A ruling is anticipated by the end of June.
