It’s been an interesting week for decisions from the US Supreme Court. Not anywhere near as bad as some allege, nor as good as the left would have their grubby followers believe. I’m only going to talk about one of them today because Dems are losing their minds, which means it’s good for America.

Did you notice the banner isn’t just a wee bit crooked? And my color improved (I’m not light blue or lobsterish). No guarantees, but I don’t like appearing as any color but the one I am. You know. Being me.

Edited transcript
Welcome to your Wednesday, July 1st, 2026. Morning update.
It’s Independence Month. Yes, it is. We have a special deal going on with bare minimum books. Please check it out on the website. It’ll be hard to miss. Trust me.
So, a lot of cases dropping from the Supreme Court because they go on vacation soon. And they’re not all going our way. But that’s not as bad as some people think, and we’ll maybe get into those if we get a chance. But today I wanted to talk about Trump v. Slaughter.
Independent agencies. Are they supposed to be immune from executive branch power? Well, they are executive branch power, and quote, from the decision,
The Constitution vests the executive power in a President of the United States of America and instructs that he take care that the laws be faithfully executed. To vest the executive power in one person was to establish a hierarchy, a chief magistrate, with whom the buck stops, and below him various assistants or deputies who derive their offices from his appointment and remain subject to his superintendence. This is from Federalist seventy two. To remain accountable to the President, those officers must be removable by the President.
So that was always the intention.
In fact, if you actually look at the history effective today, only 36%, 36.4% of the entire life of American presidencies thought of it any other way. That means a majority of years, well over sixty percent, the president had that power to recommend, with the advice and consent of the Senate, certain positions and the ability to terminate them at will, because a president who is elected by the people, who is surrounded by people who are working against him, well, that’s not democracy, is it? Even though keep in mind we live in a republic. but the democracy thing, you know who that’s for, right?
So, Slaughter changes course. And of course, the left has lost his frickin’ mind. It’s the end of the world. My God. SCOTUS has given Trump this a massive, enormous, dangerous power. Well, like I pointed out, for the majority of America’s existence, presidents have had this power. And when I say presidents, that’s what the Supreme Court just did, they gave the power the president had always had and was only briefly taken away from him back.
All future presidents, will have the exact same power. So someday after a President Rubio or President Vance, if we should make the mistake of electing a Democrat, that person could step into office and remove all the people that they had appointed or hired, who wouldn’t have any interest in what the people voted for in that president. Therefore, this is a completely constitutional ruling. It actually returns us to constitutionality. It restores the republic.
They don’t like that. They don’t like it so much that the New York Times says the court just handed Trump a dangerous new power. The New York Times is loaded with idiots.
Jeff Childers at Coffee and COVID, for example, has lots of good words.
The Supreme Court issued a common sense decision, but that ninja-like common sense had managed to evade judicial cerebellums ever since the 1930s New Deal. Yesterday the justices returned the founder’s sensible notion that the president as the executive branch or CEO may hire and fire employees who work for him, and Congress cannot game the system by making certain employees quote unquote independent.
The Chief Justice, not always on our side, as has been the case in this particularly most interesting week, wrote,
To discharge the duties of his trust, the President must have the assistance of officers he can trust. Although it is up to the Senate to decide whether to confirm those with whom the President would prefer to work, neither Congress nor the courts may saddle him with those with whom he cannot work. Subordinates who exercise the President’s power are subject to removal by him. Then and only then can they remain accountable to the president and the president to the people.
So, the Democrats don’t like it because they can’t bury Democrats in agencies the president can’t fire, who will interfere with, disrupt, and undermine the agenda of the guy the American public just elected.
That’s what Democrats are defending.
But then again, like I said, the next Democrat president can do the exact same thing. He can fire all of them. But for now, Mr. Trump is going to do something he’s well known for.

That’s it for today. We’ll talk to you tomorrow.
