Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh Signal Big SCOTUS Win Incoming For President Trump (and America)
It looks like we’re about to have some serious good news incoming soon from the Supreme Court!
Constitutional Law is traditionally something that might make your eyes glaze over and put you to sleep, but after learning just how much our Country has been compromised by the Deep State and learning HOW they compromised us, it’s suddenly much more interesting.
And one of their favorite tricks has been setting up and controlling Independent Agencies that answer to no one and can be easily controlled by a non-elected Deep State.
They’re the Shadow Government — the 4th Branch of Government our Founders never envisioned and never wanted!
And it looks like the Supreme Court is about to hand them the final nail in the coffin.
Watch this:
Gorsuch was on fire too.

Mike Lee was there today for Oral Arguments and he is very encouraged with what he saw and heard.
See here:
I attended arguments at the Supreme Court today in Trump v. Slaughter
SCOTUS has the chance to overturn *Humphrey’s Executor,* which would restore presidential authority over the executive branch, freeing us from bureaucratic tyranny

In case any of that is confusing to you, I put together a really helpful and easy to understand summary of exactly what is going on here:
Humphrey’s Executor — What It Was, Why It Matters Today, and Why the Supreme Court Hearing Looks Like a Win for Trump
1. What the case was
Humphrey’s Executor (1935) said the President cannot fire commissioners of certain “independent agencies” unless Congress says he has specific cause (like misconduct).It involved President Roosevelt firing an FTC commissioner who disagreed with him. The Court blocked the firing and said Congress can insulate some agencies from presidential control.
That one case created the legal foundation for the modern independent agency system — FTC, SEC, NLRB, FCC, and many others.
It has been precedent for about 90 years.
2. Why it’s considered “on life support” now
Over the last decade, the Supreme Court has repeatedly limited or criticized the logic of Humphrey’s Executor.The Court has suggested:
The “quasi-legislative/quasi-judicial” idea from 1935 no longer fits what these agencies actually do.
Modern independent agencies use real executive power, so the President may need real removal power.
Several recent decisions have treated Humphrey’s as an outdated exception rather than a controlling rule.
Because of that, legal scholars now openly say the case survives “in name only.”
3. Why overturning it would be a massive win for Trump
If the Court kills or guts Humphrey’s Executor:
Trump could fire commissioners at the FTC, SEC, NLRB, and others immediately, without waiting for their terms to expire.
He could install loyal leadership across the regulatory state far faster.
It would supercharge his ability to reshape policy, from energy to tech to labor to finance.
It would validate the firings he has already carried out and clear legal obstacles ahead.
In short, overturning the case would give Trump full Article II control over the executive branch — exactly the authority he and his supporters argue the Constitution already gives him.
4. Why supporters say overturning it restores the Constitution
The pro-Trump / pro-unitary-executive argument is simple:
The Constitution says all executive power is vested in the President.
If an agency exercises executive power, its leaders must answer to the President, not be insulated by Congress.
Humphrey’s carved out a “fourth branch” of government not described anywhere in the Constitution.
Overturning it would return to a clear structure:Congress makes the laws. The President executes them. Courts interpret them.No semi-independent commissions floating in between.
5. What happened today at the Supreme Court
Today’s case — Trump v. Slaughter — asks whether Trump can fire an FTC commissioner without cause, even though current law (based on Humphrey’s) says he can’t.
What happened in the hearing:
Trump’s legal team directly asked the Court to overrule Humphrey’s Executor completely.
The conservative justices were highly skeptical of the 1935 rule and repeatedly pressed that modern agencies wield executive power.
The liberal justices defended the existing system but were clearly in the minority.
The tone of questioning strongly suggested the Court is ready to:
Uphold Trump’s firing, and
Potentially overturn or severely limit the 1935 precedent.
The consensus from observers:This looked like a very strong day for Trump.
6. Why today’s hearing signals a likely Trump victory
The conservative majority clearly treated Humphrey’s as outdated.
They emphasized the President’s constitutional removal power.
They showed little patience for the argument that the FTC should be insulated from a President.
Even if they don’t formally “overrule” the 1935 case, the Court appears prepared to narrow it so drastically that Trump effectively gets everything he wants:the power to remove independent-agency leaders at will.
Kavanaugh and Alito were on fire today:
JUST IN: SCOTUS Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Sam Alito NUKE the “independent commission” scam, an apparent win for Trump
Their argument: Can Congress just make ANY Cabinet office an “independent commission,” thereby DESTROYING the presidency?

For anyone paying special attention to what the Supreme Court has been doing recently, you might say this sounds a whole lot like when they overturned the longstanding (and wildly Unconstitutional) Chevron Doctrine.
And you’d be 100% right!
Here’s how they related and why the Supreme Court killing Chevron means they will almost certainly also kill Humphreys:
How Humphrey’s Executor and Chevron Overruling Fit Together
1. Chevron dealt with judicial deference
When the Court overturned Chevron, it killed the idea that courts must normally defer to an agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous statute.Result: Courts, not agencies, now decide what the law means.
That ruling weakens agencies’ power to interpret laws.
2. Humphrey’s Executor deals with presidential control
Humphrey’s is about who controls the agencies, specifically whether the President can fire their leaders at will.
Overturning it would weaken agencies’ independence by giving the President direct authority over their leadership.
3. Both rulings target the same underlying structure
Put simply:
Overturning Chevron → agencies lose power over what the law means.
Overturning Humphrey’s → agencies lose power to defy the President.
Together, these changes strip away two pillars of the modern administrative state:
Deference power (Chevron)
Independence power (Humphrey’s)
4. Why the two decisions complement each other
Once Chevron fell, agencies lost the ability to say:“The courts must defer to us.”
If Humphrey’s falls, they also lose the ability to say:“The President can’t fire us.”
Resulting system:
Agencies become more accountable to elected leadership.
Courts become more assertive in interpreting statutes.
The President gains far more control over agency direction.
Bureaucratic autonomy shrinks dramatically.
Think of it like a two-step dismantling of the old structure:
Step 1 (Chevron): Courts stop deferring → limits agencies’ legal authority.Step 2 (Humphrey’s): President can remove leadership → limits agencies’ political independence.
5. Why this matters specifically for Trump
Trump’s agenda requires agencies to follow his direction quickly, not resist him through:
lengthy rulemaking
internal opposition
staggered commissioner terms
“for cause” firing protections
broad interpretations of old laws
Chevron’s death already removed one obstacle.If Humphrey’s dies too, Trump gains the ability to:
Fire resistant commissioners instantly
Install people aligned with his policies
Halt regulatory actions he opposes
Reorient the federal bureaucracy in months, not years
Re-read that last one….
THIS IS HUGE FOLKS!
A true game-changer.
We need this!!
