Trump asks the Supreme Court to authorize the dismissal of regulators appointed by Biden

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Justice of President Donald Trump filed an emergency call to the Supreme Court, aimed at canceling the lower court decisions which prevented the administration from dismissing three regulators appointed by Biden.

The emergency call asks the High Court to authorize the Trump administration to dismiss three US members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an independent regulatory council of five members who establish standards and oversee security for thousands of consumer products. The appeal comes after the Supreme Court, in May, granted a separate emergency request for the Trump administration concerning the dismissal of two agency officials appointed by Biden of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB).

“It is scandalous that we must once again ask for an intervention from the Supreme Court because the left-wing judges in the lower courts continue to challenge clear decisions of the high court,” said White House spokesperson Harrison Fields.

“The Supreme Court has decisively concluded the constitutional authority of the president to dismiss and withdraw members of senior management exercising his power, but this attack in progress by the militant judges undermines this victory,” he continued. “President Trump remains determined to fulfill the mandate of the American people by effectively directing the executive power, despite these incessant obstructions.”

Mary Boyle, Alexander Hoehn-Saric and Richard Trumka Jr. were appointed for seven-year terms on the independent government agency by former president Joe Biden. Their positions have historically been protected from reprisals because they can only be terminated for negligence or embezzlement.

After Trump tried to dismiss the three Democratic regulators, they continued, arguing that the president had sought to withdraw them without cause. Finally, a federal judge from Maryland agreed with them, and this week, a court of appeal confirmed this decision.

However, according to the Emergency Call for the Trump administration, subject to the high court on Wednesday morning, the three regulators in question showed “hostility on the agenda” and took measures that “threw the agency in chaos”.

The emergency call to the Supreme Court added that “none of this should be possible” after the High Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s decision to dismiss two managers of working agencies.

“None of this should be possible after Wilcox, which squarely controls this case. Like the NLRB and the MSPB in Wilcox, the CPSC exercises the” considerable executive power “, 145 S. Ct. At 1415 – for example, by issuing rules, by exposing administrative procedures, by issuing pursuit of criminal affairs,” wrote General John Sauer The Supreme Court.
