BREAKING: Supreme Court GRANTS Trump's request to fire FTC commissioner despite nearly a century of precedent in Humphreyâs 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 6â3 vote. So Slaughter remains terminated.
