Big SCOTUS Decisions That Will Impact Government, Elections, and You

from 4 Things To Know This Afternoon · host Erick-Woods Erickson

1. Supreme Court Ends Independent Agencies The Supreme Court ruled that the President has the constitutional authority to remove leaders of so-called independent agencies like the FTC. This decision could reshape the balance of power across the federal government. 2. Federal Reserve Gets a Special Exception The Court carved out an exception for the Federal Reserve, prompting a sharp dissent from Amy Coney Barrett. I explain why this ruling could have lasting consequences for executive authority and monetary policy. 3. Mail-In Ballot Case Explained The Court upheld states' ability to count ballots that arrive after Election Day if they are postmarked on time. I break down Amy Coney Barrett's reasoning and why she believes Congress, not the Court, should change the law. 4. France Blames America for Europe's Heat Wave French officials and media are pointing fingers at Americans over Europe's heat wave instead of confronting Europe's resistance to air conditioning. The argument is as unbelievable as it sounds.   Text ERICK to 33-777 for "Show Notes" and to stay updated on all things Erick Erickson. www.erickerickson.com https://www.youtube.com/@ewerickson  https://rumble.com/ewerickson  Stay grounded, stay informed, and keep the faith.
