The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission are unconstitutional and overturned a 90-year-old decision that allowed Congress to shield members of certain independent agencies from being fired by the president at will.

The decision from the high court expands the president’s power over many independent boards and commissions, which Congress had insulated from political pressure by saying their members could only be removed by the president for cause.

    CBS is owned by David Ellison, Larry Ellison’s son, and they have been systematically purging anything remotely critical of Trump or conservatism/Nazi ideology from the network. They are not to be relied upon or trusted as a news source and should be categorized right next to Fox News.
