Curt Griggs

They can't call for him to resign from Congress because they have two black female members who are facing federal felony criminal trials and they have defended them remaining as members unless they are convicted. Swalwell isn't even charged with a crime.

There will be many lessons to take from the tragedy at Brown. One is this: spreading baseless theories and false accusations online causes real harm. Innocent young people have had their lives upended by reckless online speculation. It is damaging, and it must stop.

SCOTUS is hearing the Slaughter case this morning. That’s the one on whether the POTUS can fire certain agency officials or whether that power can be restricted in some ways. The DOJ seeks to overturn the case of Humphrey’s Executor, a very old precedent on this issue. I will be reading the transcript of the argument later today or tomorrow and setting forth my views of how the argument went here on X once I’ve done that. (I can no longer stand to listen to the arguments live because of the ignorant and/or idiotic and/or irrelevant and/or dilettantish questions posed by several of the Justices - Barrett, Sotomayor, & Jackson.) My own view is that unless expressly stated in the Constitution itself or expressly designating to another constitutional actor the power to define how to appoint or fire an Executive Branch official or an official carrying out or supervising executive powers, then the POTUS is the constitutional actor with the power to fire such officers and may do so at will. While some agencies may carry out within them multiple of the three branches’ powers, there are only three branches, not four; and whether those agencies’ officials can be fired and by whom partakes of the character of the separation of powers framework, not hybrids concocted by the Congress outside that framework. So stay tuned for my analysis of the argument in due course over the next day or so.

If you are interested in listening, Supreme Court's oral arguments in U.S. v. Slaughter start in 10 minutes. This is the case over Trump's authority to fire without cause members of various boards and commissions even if Congress attempts to limit that authority in a statute.
