Demand Supreme Court Reform to Restore Independent Agency Protections

The Supreme Court just handed the president king-like power to purge independent regulatory agencies, and you need to act on Court reform now. The 6-3 decision striking down 91 years of precedent protecting FTC commissioners from at-will removal isn't just bad law — it's a contradiction. Chief Justice Roberts justified the ruling by saying the president needs officers he can "trust," while gutting the very independence that made those officers trustworthy in the first place. Independent agencies were designed to be firewalls against exactly this kind of political capture. The moment a president can remove commissioners for any reason, those agencies stop serving the public and start serving whoever holds the White House. The Roberts Court built its reasoning around a fictional president who acts in good faith — then handed that power to Donald Trump. That's not constitutional interpretation. That's a parlor game with real consequences for every American who depends on the FTC to keep corporations in check. Push for structural Supreme Court reform. Term limits, ethics mandates, and expanded oversight are on the table — and this ruling makes the case for all of them. Democratic governance cannot survive a Court that trades in theory while ignoring reality.
