John Roberts used one 'chilling' word in new ruling that unnerved ex-prosecutor
Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann fixed on a single word in Chief Justice John Roberts' majority opinion and said it left him deeply unsettled.Reacting on air to Monday's 6-3 ruling in Trump v. Slaughter, which overturned 91 years of precedent and lets the president fire members of independent agencies without cause, Weissmann said the decision extends the theory of expansive presidential power Roberts laid out in the Trump v. United States immunity case.This time, he said, the chief justice leaned on the "vitality" and "secrecy" of the executive branch."It's hard to stress enough for people the ramifications of this decision," he told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on her show, "Deadline: White House."Weissmann pointed to Roberts' language that indicates his views on sweeping presidential power."Saying that it's necessary, what they ruled today, that it's necessary to have the vitality, and in a word, I found chilling, the secrecy of the executive branch. That was a word that was not in the immunity decision, and should think about that. He said the ruling "unleashes political patronage" and called it "a very ahistoric decision" with "very, very long coattails.""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. "You want career people in place with experience, who are supposed to be apolitical regardless of party."The decision drew a scathing dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who wrote that the court handed Trump a power unknown even to the English Crown.Weissmann invoked Justice Robert Jackson, who returned from prosecuting Nazis at Nuremberg, to caution against expanding presidential power, and said the founders feared this outcome."We did not want to, and do not want to, have a king in the White House," he said.He also called the majority's appeal to originalism "laughable," citing the same-day decision sparing the Federal Reserve as proof of "a result-oriented court."The ruling was a win for Trump even as the court dealt him losses the same day, rejecting his challenge to late-arriving mail ballots and refusing to hear his E. Jean Carroll appeal.

Expert slams GOP pundit's analogy for controversial Supreme Court case: 'Ridiculous'
A Constitutional law expert slammed a GOP pundit's "absolutely ridiculous" analogy about the Supreme Court's decision to overturn more than nine decades of precedent on presidential power. On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Trump v. Slaughter that President Donald Trump has the authority to fire members of the previously independent Federal Trade Commission. The decision overturned a precedent known as Humphrey's Executor, which had stood for more than 91 years, and prevented the president from firing employees of independent government agencies. Trump celebrated the opinion in a post on Truth Social, saying it "greatly increased presidential power at a time when it is needed most." Hogan Gidley, a senior advisor to the America First Policy Institute, argued on CNN's "The Arena" with host Kasie Hunt that the Supreme Court was right to rule that Trump has a right to fire people, just like a new head football coach is allowed to bring in a coaching staff of their choice. Michele Goodwin, a Constitutional law professor at Georgetown Law, replied that the analogy, if applied by the Trump administration, "should cause all of us to worry about the reach of the decision.""Let's be clear. We just experienced a global pandemic, and during that pandemic, we had a president who suggested that if people looked at the sun and just drank bleach, bathed in bleach, or something along those lines, COVID might not reach them," Goodwin said. "That was absolutely ridiculous." "This is exactly why you need experts who are learned and in agencies, and it is why they need an arms-length distance not only from the President, but also from Congress and the Supreme Court, to be able to do the work," she added.

Trump might be able to attack mail ballots despite Supreme Court order
The Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump's challenge to state laws allowing mail ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted after Election Day. Despite the ruling, the court simultaneously issued its decision in Trump v. Slaughter, overturning nearly a century of precedent by allowing the president to fire members of independent agencies without cause. Reuters' White House correspondent Jacob Bogage explained the ruling's implications on X, "This also has big potential mail-in voting consequences," he wrote."It could empower the president to fire members of the USPS board of governors, the group that selects the postmaster general and overseas the U.S. mail system."Current Postmaster General David Steiner is already implementing a controversial Trump executive order directing the Postal Service to withhold mail ballot delivery in states refusing to provide sensitive voter practice information to the federal government. A federal judge in Boston has moved to block enforcement of the executive order, though litigation is expected to continue.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
