Supreme Court Makes SHOCK RULING in Revisit to 1935 - Legal AF



The Roberts Court let Donald Trump fire Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, effectively overturning a nearly century-old precedent shielding that position from political interference.

The order in Trump v. Slaughter is widely viewed as the death knell for the Supreme Court's 1935 decision in Humphrey's Executor that makes independent agencies possible. But one of the Roberts Court's questions makes the stakes of this case even more alarming. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News breaks it down. - 09/25/2025.

These are all rich, educated people with teams of other rich, educated people plotting out the future of our country and the world—they are watering down our "annoying" constitution because they know that nobody can stand up to the rich.

His decisions and his leadership have led this once promising Country over the edge of the precipice. He is unrelenting in his pursuit of Oligarchic dictatorship, from destroying the Voting Rights Act to giving Trump complete immunity to do whatever he wants without consequence, yo, godlike, creating corporations into human beings.

I'd like to think that, maybe, somebody in MAGA has something on him, if you know what I mean. But I'm afraid what we see in his actions is a true reflection of the man. He tempered his fascism when his SCOTUS was 5-4, but when DJT gave him a 6-3 majority, he pursued a much more blatant, much more destructive and morally indefensible path.
