The Supreme Court’s supreme error
Friends,
Todayβs Supreme Court decision ending the independence of independent regulatory agencies, and directly overruling a court precedent, was justified by a pernicious idea advocated by the conservative Supreme Court majority β that the framers of the Constitution envisioned a so-called βunified executive.β In fact, the framers central focus was to prevent a United States president from becoming too powerful β like the king they were displacing β so they could not have sought a strong, centralized executive branch.
