On Monday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Trump v. Slaughter. The case will decide whether President Donald Trump had the power to lawfully remove Rebecca Kelly Slaughter from her position at the Federal Trade Commission. Trump has fired a lot of people in the government, and opponents say he has no power to do so.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has argued that it's best to let the experts do their thing without fear of being fired. No one should have that much power.

Each side in a lawsuit hires experts to argue in favor of the side that pays them. If she worked as a lawyer she should know that is what experts do. They say what they are paid to say. If Trump wants to fire an expert, it is because the expert isn't saying what he wants to pay the expert to say.
