25. Her silencing quote: ""What you're saying is the president can do more than the law permits."

FFS, if you're going to claim something in an OP, sure, put a link in, but considering this story only had four more, single sentence additional paragraphs, it seems weird you didn't quote what the headline said. Feels click-baity, even if the link proves the title. I mean, why did I have to click through when you could have posted

“You’re asking us to destroy the structure of government and to take away from Congress its ability to protect its idea that the government is better structured with some agencies that are independent,” Sotomayor said.

Justice Samuel Alito asked Sauer to respond, and he assured the court that overturning the Humphrey’s Executor precedent – allowing President Donald Trump to fire independent agency leaders – would not fundamentally reshape the government.
...
The court's liberals appear inclined to believe those removal protections preserve congressional intentions in creating the agencies while the conservative majority appears to view those limits as incompatible with Article II of the Constitution.

“What you’re saying is the president can do more than the law permits," Sotomayor said.


Anyway, sorry for the rant, I just don't understand not quoting the part a headline is about. It's happening more and more frequently here.
