00:00SCOTUS Heard Oral Arguments on Presidential Authority Case

00:03Well, folks, buckle up, because this week's oral arguments at the Supreme Court

00:08may have just exposed exactly how deep the deep state really goes.

00:14At the center, Trump vs. Slaughter, testing who actually runs the country.

00:19It's not just about firing a bureaucrat, it's about who is accountable to voters.

00:23Rebecca Slaughter, a Biden-era FTC commissioner, was fired in March and sued,

00:28claiming removal required cause.

00:31Her team cites a 1935 limit on firing independent officials.

00:35Trump's lawyer called it a decaying husk.

00:38Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argued,

00:41presidents shouldn't control the so-called experts running the bureaucracy.

00:45She emphasized deference to credentialed expertise.

00:49Translation, elections aside, technocrats, not the president, should run the country.

00:55Critics say that hands power to unelected lifers,

00:57the real rulers voters can't fire or oust.

01:00That vision directly challenges Article 2 by slicing up presidential power

01:04and delegating it to an unaccountable priesthood.

01:08It elevates credentialed expertise, but critics say offers zero accountability.

01:13A ruling for Trump, as six conservatives seemed inclined,

01:16could start untangling the administrative state.

01:19It would reaffirm that presidents, not boards or commissions, run the executive branch.

01:23A ruling against him could bar firing officials working against a president's agenda

01:27because offices read independent.

01:30That setup lets the left lose elections, yet keep agencies stalling,

01:34stonewalling, and regulating until power returns.

01:38Slaughter's team warns a Trump win would profoundly destabilize institutions.

01:43Critics say those centers already obstruct voters.

01:46Yeah, maybe those could use a little destabilizing.

01:49The court will rule in 2026, and this fight is bigger than Rebecca Slaughter's job.

01:55Brace yourselves, the deep state is watching, and it's unhappy the lights are finally on.
