SCOTUS Moves Closer To Giving Trump Control Of Independent Agencies

The Supreme Court made use of its controversial Emergency Docket to quash a federal court order that stopped Trump from firing an FTC commissioner. In doing so the judges signalled their willingness to throw out protections that keep Independent Federal Agency heads from being fired without cause by the president. This decision threatens to destroy the independence of dozens of important agencies like the FTC, FDIC, and even the Federal Reserve. Join us as Nathan discusses where this ruling came from and the coming legal battle to determine if Trump can bend these agencies to his will. The Politics of New America explores and explains the actions of the American federal government in this era of radical change.
