The justices ruled in the case of former #FTC member #RebeccaSlaughter, whom #Trump fired WITHOUT cause despite a provision of #federal #law that requires a reason. The logic of the decision extends to other agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board, the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, where Trump also has fired board members.
