I know a lot of you hate him but there is no denying that this is big. If they follow through on throwing out the whole fucking thing it will be the best thing that has happened to the US in decades.

For some context, looks like they're going to overturn Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U.S. 602 (1935)

Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U.S. 602 (1935), was a U.S. Supreme Court decision that ruled the U.S. Constitution allows Congress to enact laws limiting the ability of the President of the United States to fire the executive officials of an independent agency that is quasi-legislative or quasi-judicial in nature.

Trump wanted to fire a Biden holdover, FTC commissioner Rebecca Slaughter but a lower court reinstated her.

The Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump may remove Democratic Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioner Rebecca Slaughter without cause while her legal challenge to the termination proceeds.

This would give the president more power over agencies. It would allow him to fire those long sitting 'unfireable' bureaucrats that have been silently controlling policy for decades.

The case centers on the court’s 1936 decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, a landmark precedent allowing Congress to insulate certain agency heads against full presidential control.
