President Donald Trump\u2019s big and controversial Supreme Court win in Trump v. Slaughter<\/em> empowered the head of America\u2019s executive branch to fire members of previously independent agencies in order to solidify his power and policy agenda. Now, a conservative publication is publishing an article on how opponents of this case can fight back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe death of independent agencies should not be considered a fait accompli,\u201d wrote Todd Phillips, a consultant and former law professor at Georgia State University, in The Bulwark on Sunday. \u201cThe Court\u2019s ruling in Trump v. Slaughter just turned a wonky bill focused on the structure of crypto markets into a live test case for whether Congress will let one party\u2019s White House\u2014present or future\u2014singlehandedly control how every industry in the United States is regulated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phillips added, \u201cSlaughter need not be the last word on bipartisan policymaking. Although the Court has ruled that the president must be permitted to remove board members and commissioners at will, Congress is still permitted to structure agencies in ways that disincentivize firings.\u201d <\/p>\n

From there Phillips argued, citing a recent Stanford Law Review article he co-authored with University of Minnesota Law Professor Nicholas R. Bednar, that \u201cone partial solution worth pursuing would be to emphasize and clarify independent agencies\u2019 quorum rules, requiring that bipartisan slates of commissioners are seated before agencies take any actions.\u201d This process might work because \u201ccommissions\u2019 quorum requirements could be structured such that members from both the Democratic and Republican parties must be in office and must not be recused before the agency may advance any action. Such quorums would ensure that even if members of the minority party are not successful in persuading their colleagues of their policy proposals, they are at least in the room when decisions are being made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, \u201calthough the Supreme Court has made its decision, Congress need not let the six justices have the last word on whether agency independence is permitted to exist. Tightening quorum requirements for independent regulatory agencies is not a perfect solution. But it\u2019s a step worth taking.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded, \u201cLegislators who oppose volatile, episodic regulation driven by who happens to control an agency at any given moment should use the CLARITY Act as an opportunity to preserve, at least in a limited way, bipartisan, independent agencies while articulating a blueprint for reforming other commissions in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the Supreme Court issued its ruling in the Slaughter <\/em>case, dissenting Justice Sonia Sotomayor broke down in detail why she believed the case was poorly reasoned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is little to suggest ‘Executive Power,’ as understood at the time of the founding, was as capacious as the Court today asserts,\u201d Sotomayor explained. \u201cThe powers held by the English Crown and state governors before ratification did not include a removal power that the legislature could not modify. Instead, Parliament often restricted the Crown’s ability to remove even high-level royal officers, and states with vesting clauses like the Constitution’s similarly allowed for limits on gubernatorial removal powers.”<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cToday, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
