Excerpt:
The Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision Thursday that President Donald Trump has the authority to fire independent federal regulators in a major affirmation of the executive branch’s authority.
The high court granted the Trump administration’s request to pause orders by federal judges that required government officials to allow board members at two independent federal agencies to stay in office after President Trump attempted to fire them. Chief Justice John Roberts had already issued an administrative stay, which temporarily put those orders on hold while the court reviewed the administration’s requests.
In effect, Thursday’s ruling extends that order while the litigation continues at the appellate court level and if necessary, the Supreme Court for a final ruling.
