- The Supreme Court overturned 90 years of precedent in the Slaughter case, granting the president dictatorial power over regulatory agencies.
- The decision enables corruption by allowing Trump to fire civil servants and direct agencies against their mandates, favoring personal retribution and greed.
- The Court's carve-out for the Federal Reserve is hypocritical, as it's based on market concerns rather than constitutional principles.
- The ruling empowers Trump to reward corporations based on bribes and ego-stroking, undermining antitrust, environmental, and labor protections.
- Profits are soaring due to increased monopoly power and weakened workers' rights, with oligarchs enriching Trump in exchange for favors.
- The Court is seen as partisan, likely to reverse its stance if a Democrat becomes president, reflecting a right-wing view of consolidated Republican power.
