“The Supreme Court just overturned well-established precedent to greenlight Donald Trump’s threats to independent federal agencies.

“Now, this President can fire whomever he perceives as his enemy at these agencies without so much as citing cause.

“This ruling is an affront to good governance and the point of ‘independent’ federal agencies in the first place.”
