The Supreme Court has granted Donald Trump the authority to dismiss Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), which violates federal law. This decision threatens the CPSC's ability to regulate dangerous products, placing consumers, particularly children, at risk. Furthermore, the court's reprimand of lower courts indicates a push to enable executive power while disregarding judicial independence. The CPSC was established to protect consumers from hazardous goods and was designed to remain bipartisan and insulated from presidential influence, highlighting a significant deviation from its original purpose.
The Supreme Court expanded Donald Trump's power on Wednesday, allowing him to fire Democratic members of the CPSC, violating federal law.
The court's action imperils the CPSC's ability to ban products that may maim or kill consumers, including children, giving corporations freer rein.
The decision makes us all less safe and reprimands lower courts for trying to stop Trump's abuses of power, demanding they align with its directives.
By undermining lower courts, the justices risk their own independence while showing a disregard for judicial precedent and the rule of law.
