TRUMP UNLEASHED "THE COURT SIDES WITH THE PEOPLE’S PRESIDENT

The Supreme Court heard arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, a case challenging President Trump's firing of FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, where justices seemed to favor expanding presidential power, suggesting the President can fire independent agency heads like FTC officials without cause, potentially overturning the Humphrey's Executor precedent that limited this power to "inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance" for such bodies.

A decision is expected soon, but the arguments indicate a strong conservative majority leans toward affirming broad presidential removal power, viewing restrictions on firing as unconstitutional, thereby allowing such removals as "Article II is the Law of the Land".

Key Points from the Arguments:

Challenging Precedent: The case tests the 1935 Humphrey's Executor ruling, which protected FTC commissioners from at-will firing by the President.

Presidential Power: The Trump administration argued that the President, as head of the Executive Branch, must have ultimate control, including the power to remove officials, even from "independent" agencies, as stated in Article II of the Constitution.

"No Cause Needed": Justices appeared to agree that limiting removal to "for cause" (like inefficiency or neglect) for FTC officials infringes on executive authority, suggesting the President can fire them without any reason.

Impact: A ruling expanding this power would significantly increase presidential control over independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and potentially other bodies, impacting their independence.

A formal ruling is anticipated, with strong indications the Court will rule in favor of broader presidential power, signaling a potential shift in the balance between executive authority and independent agency functions.

BREAKING: Another horrific crime committed by an ILLEGAL ALIEN in Nebraska

Juan Melgar-Ayala, an illegal alien from El Salvador, shot a 61-year-old American man in the chest. Police engaged in a shootout at a grocery store and neutralized the suspect, but four brave officers were injured in the process. The victim is currently fighting for his life in critical condition.

Here is the kicker: Melgar-Ayala had a PRIOR criminal history, including felony burglary charges in 2021. Why was this criminal allowed to remain in our country? THIS is exactly the kind of person the Democrats are fighting to protect while our citizens suffer. The Omaha Police Department’s (OPD) Officer-Involved Investigations Team has released the names of the officers injured, the suspect, and the victim. According to a release from the OPD, the suspect, Juan Melgar-Ayala was also a convicted felon. How he obtained the gun used is still under investigation.

 
In the shooting earlier in the day, Melgar-Ayala shot Michael Kasper, 61, at Phil’s Foodway, a local grocery store. As of December 4, detectives with the OPD Assault Unit have not found the motive or connection between Melgar-Ayala and Kasper. Melgar-Ayala reportedly shot Kasper multiple times. Kasper is in serious condition, but is expected to survive. More interviews and an investigation into the shooting at Phil’s Foodway are still ongoing.

The release states that officers attempted to give Melgar-Ayala commands to leave the restroom where he was hiding in both English and Spanish. After he left the bathroom, Melgar-Ayala shot at officers. Officers returned fire, killing Melgar-Ayala. Officials said that Melgar-Ayala was struggling with mental-health-related issues. Preliminary evidence showed that Melgar-Ayala shot at officers 16 times, but had more live ammunition on his person.

The case will be presented to a grand jury after the investigation is complete, according to the release. The officers involved, assignments, years of service, and, if provided, the injury sustained.

Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer released a statement thanking the OPD for their service during the shootings. “The Omaha Police Department is a professional agency committed to confronting the most dangerous threats to our community.
