BREAKING: Supreme Court GRANTS Trump's request to fire FTC commissioner

BREAKING: Supreme Court GRANTS Trump's request to fire FTC commissioner despite nearly a century of precedent in Humphrey’s Executor v. US

6-3 ruling. The court will hear arguments over whether to officially overrule Humphrey's during their upcoming term. @courthousenews.bsky.social

NEW: The Supreme Court freezes a lower court order reinstating FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, whom Trump illegally fired, by a 6–3 vote. So Slaughter remains terminated.

SCOTUS also schedules arguments to decide whether to overrule Humphrey's Executor. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
