In an emergency order, the court's conservatives allowed President Trump to fire the last remaining Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission. In 1935, the court ruled unanimously that President Franklin Roosevelt could not fire a federal trade commissioner over a policy disagreement. The court said then that Congress acted within its powers in barring such firings except for misconduct. The court said it will hear arguments in a case aimed at reversing that long established precedent. And if, as expected, the president prevails, he will be able to hire and fire all agency leaders. And if the next president is a Democrat, he or she can fire all the Trump appointees instead of maintaining bipartisan commissions. Nina Totenberg, NPR News, Washington.
