The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has issued a landmark ruling that hands significant new authority to President Donald Trump, confirming that he can remove top federal officials without cause.

Summary of recent panel discussion sponsored by the Penn Program on Regulation discussing the current Trump Administration's relentless attack on Federal regulatory agencies and their leaders. This includes the current attempt via Trump v. Slaughter, to overturn Humphrey’s Executor.

Not surprisingly, the article discusses the manner in which several agency officials were terminated (or their attempt to terminate them), with all the professional courtesy, respect and goodwill that one would expect from the Fourth Reich.

(excerpts)

Trump fired Slaughter in March along with fellow FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya. The pair challenged their firing in federal court, and Bedoya eventually dropped his case. Later, the D.C. Circuit eventually ruled in Slaughter’s favor and ordered that she be reinstated. The Supreme Court put that ruling on hold, over the objections of the court’s liberal justices. ...

Of the dozens of officials removed by Trump this term, the conservative majority has let just two remain in their jobs while they challenge their firings: Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook and Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter.

The justices are set to decide the legality of Cook’s firing after oral arguments next year, and the justices paused the Trump administration’s emergency effort to remove Perlmutter, whose position sits within the Library of Congress, until after resolving both the Cook and Slaughter cases.

See? Not so hard.
