The US Supreme Court on Thursday allowed President Trump to fire labor board members in a 6-3 decision.
Citing Humphrey’s Executor, liberal Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson dissented.
“Because the Constitution vests the executive power in the President, see Art. II, §1, cl. 1, he may remove without cause executive officers who exercise that power on his behalf, subject to narrow exceptions recognized by our precedents, see Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 591 U. S.197, 215−218 (2020),” the Supreme Court’s decision said.
The high court said there would be more harm to President Trump in denying his right to remove the Biden-appointed officials.
“The stay also reflects our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing are moved officer to continue exercising the executive power than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty,” the Supreme Court said.
President Trump previously fired Cathy Harris, the Democrat chairwoman of the Merit Systems Protection Board, a Biden holdover – she was then rehired by a corrupt Obama judge.
Trump also fired Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board – she was then rehired by a corrupt Obama judge.
In January President Trump fired Biden-appointed Democrat chair of the National Labor Relations Board Gwynne Wilcox and the general counsel of the board.
Trump’s decision to fire pro-union members Gwynne Wilcox and the labor board’s general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo got pushback from the agency and was described as an “unprecedented and illegal” move.
In March, US District Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, ruled Trump’s firing of Gwynne Wilcox was unlawful.
In a shocking 36-page opinion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Judge Beryl Howell compared Trump to a “king” or “dictator” and said the president does not have the authority to terminate members of the National Labor Relations Board.
Judge Howell claimed Wilcox’s job falls under “Humphrey’s Executor.”
The Trump DOJ fought back and the DC Circuit Court of Appeals in March agreed that President Trump indeed has the authority to fire them without cause.
The three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court: Henderson (George W. Bush appointee), Millett (Obama appointee), and Walker (Trump appointee) sided with President Trump on Friday in a 2-1 vote and ordered the DOJ motions for stay be granted.
However, Wilcox asked the court’s entire slate of judges to weigh in (en banc) and the court voted 7-4 to reinstate her.
The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with President Trump and said he can fire the labor board members without cause.
