The US Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the removal of three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), siding with the Trump administration.
The justices overturned a lower court ruling that had reinstated the Biden-appointed officials, agreeing with the administration’s argument that the president can dismiss commissioners without cause, according to Al Jazeera.
The decision highlights growing legal tensions over presidential control of federal agencies. The Court’s three liberal justices dissented, while critics warned the move could weaken the CPSC’s independence.
