Justice Ketanji D-EI: The President Must Defer to the Unelected "Experts" Who Should Really Run Our Lives for Us
Ketanji D-EI doesn't bother hiding her Marxist disdain for the popular vote, preferring all powers to be held by a, let's say, Revolutionary Vanguard of some kind.
I called this from before the election. The Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) began a propaganda campaign to convince the country that while the GOP won all three official branches of government, there was a Secret Fourth Branch of Government -- the permanent left-wing bureaucracy -- which Akshually had the power to overrule the other three branches of government and run the country. Needing some power center in government, they're willing an independent, permanent, unelected, unaccountable fourth branch of government into existence. We heard the same thing under George W. Bush. Locked out of the government, the communist Democrat Party and the media (but I repeat myself again) insisted that it was unfair of Bush to fire Clinton's US Attorneys because those Attorneys had a constitutional duty to check Bush's power. They also insisted the DOJ should be "independent" of the actual President and his appointed-and-confirmed AG. It's always the same playbook. As soon as Democrats get a political rebuke, they assert that the unelected, nigh-unfirable federal bureaucracy is the Real Legitimate Government of the country. There is no "fourth branch of government," as Gorsuch instructed Ketanji D-EI.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson used Tuesday's Trump v. Slaughter arguments to float a genuinely stunning view of executive power -- one where the president of the United States couldn't fire the very people serving inside his own government. The case itself centers on whether President Trump had the authority to remove former FTC commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a long-standing restriction on presidential oversight of so-called independent agencies. Jackson argued that scientists, economists, doctors, and other agency "experts" should be insulated from presidential authority entirely, claiming that allowing a president to fire them is "not in the best interest" of Americans. Her exchange with U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer made her philosophy unmistakable. Jackson questioned why these agencies answer to the president at all, saying she didn't understand why they aren't effectively controlled by Congress instead. "Congress established them and can eliminate them," she said -- a remarkable suggestion that the legislative branch, not the president, should control vast stretches of the executive branch. She then laid out the scenario she fears: a president firing "all the scientists, and the doctors, and the economists, and the PhDs" and replacing them with loyalists. In her view, that hypothetical alone justifies limiting a president's removal power across agencies that shape everything from transportation regulation to monetary policy. Sauer pushed back, arguing that her position flips the Constitution on its head. Allowing unelected boards to operate beyond presidential control, he warned, "subjugates" the separation of powers. The president isn't a spectator -- he's the elected official charged with running the executive branch, not rubber-stamping decisions made by bureaucrats no voter ever chose.
SCOTUS: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson told the Court that presidents should not be able to fire the PhDs & experts who run the government. She even argued presidents should avoid control over transportation & the economy.

Ketanji lost it today during oral arguments and went on a “No Kings” style rant about President Trump wanting to rule like a monarch, and how we should instead have many issues handled by “the experts and PhDs” like Dr. Fauci, Dr. “Rachel” Levine, and the gay bondage AIDS dude. pic.twitter.com/Z8qFZgZzsR

What they completely miss is that capitalists live in a world of voluntary transactions, where their ideas and products must compete and win, and the value they provide must be at worst equal to the cost they impose.
Government is not voluntary; it is backed by force, lethal force it necessary, and their transactions are guided by politics or worse. The last people you want making decisions that impact your life are government 'experts'.

"Vanguard of the Proletariat" is a Leninist concept -- the theory being that the great mass of ignorant people are too stupid to run things themselves, and would only elect equally stupid reporesentatives, so need a self-appointed "vanguard" (i.e. the communist elite) to run things on their behalf.
This is the principle that guided the Soviet Union for 70 years.

Steel starts to become plastic starting 1500 degrees f.
Aviation fuel burns in a combustion chamber at 1796 to 2732 F. The 100th floor of the WTC was an impromptu combustion chamber. It certainly got hot enough long enough, with the weight of a plane added in to deform and fail the supports. From there it is gravity and physics. Gravit is pushing the top ten floors down on floor 99. It fails and they all fall on 98, it fails. And so on. Stop with thermite and controlled demolition.

Conservatives pushed back and (correctly) argued that these agencies were creating an unelected, unaccountable, partisan shadow government that would effective run the entire country. And contrary to Ebony Kangz claim that these people are smart experts, they are in fact DEI retards and hardcore leftwing fudgepacks.
But no matter, the courts blessed this scheme and continued piling on powers to agencies (Chevron). Now, we are here, where there's an issue whether the President can fire someone in his own branch of government. It's like a controversy whether Elon Musk can fire a janitor working for Tesla.

It's what that new precedent will bring.
Because, if the high holy experts, cloaked in the fine robes of impartiality, having utmost fealty to the People alone, blessed to their office by Congress itself, can be fired, what chance does the lowly regular employee have?
Because the reasoning for the upcoming opinion will, by the same kind, demand that all the civil service protection laws also be found unconstitutional.
Or, simply, the federal government will return to the usual order of the first 150+ years:
At will employment.

And remember, it doesn't even have to become plastic to fail...just get it hot enough to weaken below the point where it can hold up the weight above it and disaster happens. It's why the second WTC building fell first; hit at a much lower floor, so more weight, less weakening of the steel before it couldn't bear the weight above it anymore.

I recall there was a lot of crying, whining, and boo-hooing from the useless dead weight Elon rightfully shitcanned, and the media ate it up, but otherwise not much else. IIRC.
It didn't help the employees' cause that half of them had jobs like "Assistant to the Assistant for Unsupervised Conjugal Visits" that had nothing to do with anything Twatter did. Then there was that entire cottage industry of THOTs bragging on SM that they got paid big bucks at tech companies, but they didn't do anything all day.

The only time I never voted was when some a$$hole stole my identity and voted in my place, I will never figure out why he did that.
They let me fill out a provisional ballot but pretty much told me that my vote would not be counted unless the police found the guy who stole my identity and I came back within 30 days and filed a report. It took me quite a bit or time to sort that one out.

She's just a bad choice. Biden probably just nodded along, but that's enough in our government. The Constitution doesn't include a "presidents are president unless they are really stupid" clause.

That's optimistic. The Republicans are baking in the cheat now with voter suppression, gerrymandering, etc. They're pulling out all the stops to retain power. Sounds familiar...
They will then use some 15th century logic to say actually if you're a specific political party you can't fire Independent agency heads. Rules for me and not for thee
If any Dems in 2028 run on returning to the "Norms" I am going to lose my shit. They better be firing everyone and filing charges on everyone period.

We need to extend ot the IQ scale past zero into the negative numbers.
If your IQ is 150, you're really smart.
If your IQ is 100, you're average.
If your IQ is 50, you're really really stupid.
If your IQ is 0, you know absolutely nothing - you're like a rock or a plant.
If your IQ is minus-50, you falsely imagine that you have knowledge and wisdom, but everything you "know' is the opposite or true.
If your IQ is minus-100, you might seem on the surface like an average person, but in reality you are an anti-human, with an in-born ability to fundamentally misunderstand everything.
If your IQ is minus-150, you are a leftist.

And yeah, up to half of the supposed 'Republican' members of the 'conservative' majority Supreme Court are closet liberals. But that's not much different than how things are in the Legislative branch. As you've said before, we're just handicapped by the 'conservative' judges believing in the rule of law, while leftist judges believe in "For my enemies (the Right), the law; for my friends (the Left), everything!" We need our judges to embrace the Leftist precedent of subjective legal weaponization, just in the other direction. Until the Left cries uncle and we can get back to the rule of law... But before that happens, there is no rule of law, there's just war. And we weren't the ones who made things that way. We just need to accept it...

I want to believe you. I do in part. But I wonder if it really does that - or if people really care. It's been pretty obvious to me my whole life where the progressives want to take us.
But are we at risk of making this something worthy of an argument? A case like this should be decided in a week with a one page opinion. That makes it clear. Instead, Trump will win 6-3 in a 100 page opinion that doesn't get released until next summer. The process makes it appear that there may be a legitimate debate between the two - when there is no argument for the progressive side.

Here's the problem with that. Congress accepted the slate of EC votes which said that Biden was President. It doesn't matter, at all, how that slate was selected... only that it was accepted by Congress.
You could, I suppose, argue that the Congress which accepted the Biden electors was, themselves, improperly elected, but that would require proving malfeasance on part of, at least, several states.
And what if you did prove that? You could undo the laws they'd passed. You could remove the appointees. But all the money spent would still be spent. All the illegals brought in would still be here. All the people killed by their decisions would still be dead.

I think you can be changed by the environment, particularly when you're emotionally embracing it. She's 'becoming' dumb. The act is becoming her. Not unlike Hilaria Baldwin. That WASP idiot can't give up that accent (fleeting as it is to everyone listening) cuz it's part of her now. She has become the character she made up for herself, fake as it is; it would be damn hard for her to turn back to who she (really) was... Ditto with Crockett. That undergrad video of her... She hasn't been her in a LONG time... She is the fake character she made up for herself. And why stop now? She's rolling in it...

It is. The United States Supreme Court consists of nine justices: one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. This number has been fixed since 1869, when Congress established the current size of the Court through the Judiciary Act of 1869.
Which means, if someone were to get rid of the filibuster, the size of the court could be increased by 218 members of the House, 50 Senators (plus the VP), and a willing President. But they'd still have to pass a law to do it.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Officials have identified some of the more than 300 piles of cremated remains located in the desert outside of Las Vegas.
Investigators with Nexstar’s KLAS first reported the discovery of more than 100 piles of cremated remains in August. The person who found the ashes said he stumbled on the piles on July 28 in a desert area outside of Searchlight, a rural community about an hour south of the Las Vegas valley.
Investigators think the remains could be from a commercial funeral business that closed or changed owners, but officials have not named any suspects.

There reverse is true too: "Your side is wrong, therefore people on your side are dumb." That's a form of underestimating your enemy. Never underestimate your enemy.
There are some smart people on the other side. They may espouse bad or even stupid policies, but that's not because they're dumb. Some people seem to think that whenever a leftist denies being able to define a woman, that means they literally can't define a woman. Of course they know what a woman is. Duh. They are saying they can't define a woman because leftist dogma requires them too.

Sure sure lots of reasons for this, in the modern era the political branches have allowed/hoped for/been thrilled with effectively delegating their power to the judiciary so that controversial decisions carry no accountability. This delegation probably exceeds the improper delegation to the unelected bureaucracy, in impact.
And now we see the full (? heh, hopefully?) flowering of this judicial usurpation and lawlessness, under Trump II. About the only thing left is for a "court" to countermand an order from the CinC through the SecWar to a military unit in the field.

Law says bank must hold 10%.
Bank loans 90 to some other guy. The first guy still has 100 dollars on deposit. The second guy goes and spends hia 90. So 100 dollars just became 190.
Th 90 dollar loan gets spent and that winds up in some other bank. They loan 81 dollars. Process repeats.
The process isnt just one bank. It the whole economy.

So you have to divide the judiciary's damage to the country between 1) things properly within their ambit, which is a tiny fraction of what's been going on for a century+, and 2) things they have no business even talking about, due to lack of constitutional role, authority, and substantive competence.
Gotta have a taxonomy when looking at contemporary self-inflicted damage in developed countries.

She was a terrible hire for the dems - she moves no one towards her argument. She forces Sotomayor and Kagan to vote with her for ideological reasons, not because of the soundness of her arguments.

Yep. And the deposit is still 100.and they guy who got the loan has 90. Thats 190. The money multiplier. His 90 gets spent and winds up in another bank. They loan 81 dollars. Etc. That 100 dollars creates 900 dollars. ( THERE IS A FORMULA here using 10% reserve). So more loans, more money. High interest less loans. That said.

The plane to building momentum transfer is weak because the structure between beams has very low strength. So momentum is gradually transferred as it penetrates and friction stops it and light crap inside is knocked aside. If a firm spot is hit, the plane itself breaks up as well.

The local banks don't borrow from each other and from the Fed Discount Window to cover loans?
IIRC, and I am not an expert, deposits are not the sum of the amount the banks loan on, and the fractional reserve required both is from the deposits and the loans the banks incur to cover loans they make.
This was one of the ways the local bank went under in the late 60's, unable to cover its loans when a bunch of small companies defaulted on their business loans due to a recession.

Well not really. Lower rates increase loans. More money in the bank increases the amount of money the bank can hypothetically loan. But they wont be doing as many loans at 12% interest as they do at 3.5% see for example the real world. We might be talking past each other. 🤷♂️

And.the loaned money ends up in some other bank as a deposit eventually. So lower interest rates, stimulates loans, which through the money multipler leads eventually to increased deposits. There is a relationship.

Therefore, executive agency heads are subject to that chosen Executive. Otherwise, we have no control over our own Government, and the Political Power of those officers is untethered from the People.
