    Trump Asks Supreme Court to End Protection of Independent Agencies

    The Trump administration has told Congress they will move to ask the Supreme Court to overrule Humphrey's Executor, a 1935 ruling that protects workers in independent agencies from political retribution.

    In a letter written by Trump's Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris, she notified the Congressional Judiciary Committee that the Justice Department (DOJ) is looking to overturn this precedent as they see it as an unconstitutional burden on the president's right to fire federal workers.
    .............................
    This comes at the same time that an employee fired by the Trump administration is suing the president for the "illegal removal" of her from her post.

    The suit, brought by Gwynne A. Wilcox, who was fired from her position on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), will likely lead to a Supreme Court case and an ultimate ruling on Humphrey's Executor.

    Project 2025 ... it's not about efficiency, it's about creating chaos so the billionaire class can get away with anything.
