    He is POTUS and this had to be ruled on by SCOTUS? You can hear the Dems already "Power grab! impeach! impeach!" I guess the system is functioning exactly how it’s supposed to. Why it was necessary is another story.

    Supreme Court rules Trump has unfettered power to fire officials
    A divided Supreme Court on Monday put the brakes on Congress’ attempt to limit the president’s power to remove executive branch officials in a win for President Trump.

    Why should he not be able to fire people in his branch of government?

    He is their boss.

    Corruption no longer exists when you have the power to fire people who investigate you.

    Since when would congress get a chop on who the President fires? Would democrats in congress agree to allow the president a voice in how they manage themselves? Laughable.

    Oh, and the extra fun part were liberal justices agreeing that congress should get a voice here. Talk about judicial activism...

    All of the Republican appointees on the high court backed the decision eliminating the restrictions on the firing of leaders of so-called single-member agencies, while all the Democrat-appointed justices said they would have left those limitations in place.

    The board was the brainchild of Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren before her days in elected office, and enacted into law by Congress in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse.

    Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

    How were they investigating him?

    Lol...indeed, like the virus no longer exists if we stop testing for it.
    The whole trump gang is in desperate denial and distraction while their world implodes around them.

    LOL... Funny stuff. In this case, the executive is taking control over a rogue enfettered federal agency that even though created by congress can be managed by the executive. Democrats never thought about that, just assumed their blue firewall would keep the shenanigans going in perpetuity. And then it didn't. so, even the liberal justices attempted to legislate here. Read the options. It's like witnessing butt hurt .

    Message to the Left: Trump won in 2016 because we were fed up with all the Democrat BS. Do you really think the last 3 1/2 years of your insanity will get you a different result this November? Dumb

    When Biden takes over, I imagine you're going to be applauding when he pretends to take on Deep State corruption.

    Trump was elected by a minority of Americans, and the majority will soon reclaim his rights.

    The good news is you'll have years ahead of you to come up with lots of imaginary new plots.

    That blanket statement is not what was authorized. Why must everything be click bait?

    For a minute there I thought it was fireworks, but it turned out to just be the sound of liberal heads figuratively exploding. HAHA!

    I honestly have no idea what you mean by this. It probably sounded great in your head as you wrote it though...

    The ruling is for Executive Branch officials only.

    It's simple, though.

    Trump made the people believe he was going to fight corruption in Washingtion.

    In the last four years, how many were sent to prison by Trump?

    I would expect zero, because he isn't the person who puts folks in jail, is he? Perhaps you're confusing a president with a king... Like Obama..

    Thus observe the fault in the Constitution when it can't prevent a corrupt President abusing it.

    They can devote the rest of their lives to supporting trump’s businesses and donating to his go fund me pages as he continues to fleece them for eternity.

    He's been defending himself against the radical left and deep states since the day he walked in the White House. The force is strong with the deep state and the left.

    Stop being so hypocritical.

    Trump wanted investigations against an incredible number of people since 2017.

    Hillary, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Biden...

    None of them have ever been charged with anything.

    Why is that?

    And while he was snuffing out imaginary conspiracies, 125,000 died from the coronavirus.

    ROFL, um.... the left has a book full of conspiracies they been trying to use against this president. Steele dosier ring any bells?

    And oh how the left forgets their own hypocrisy!
