Trump Scores MASSIVE Legal Victory | Supreme Court OKs Firing of Biden Appointees

In a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump had the authority to fire Biden-appointed officials Wilcox and Harris mid-term, weakening decades-old congressional protections over independent agencies. The decision—criticized by Justice Kagan—allows presidents to remove executive officers without cause, but excludes the Federal Reserve. Trump’s firings stalled the NLRB and Merit Board, halting key decisions. While the ruling marks a major shift in separation of powers, the Court says a final judgment is still pending. #SCOTUS #TrumpvWilcox #ExecutivePower #SeparationOfPowers #PresidentialAuthority #AgencyIndependence #WilcoxFiring #NLRB #MeritBoard #SupremeCourtRuling #ConstitutionalLaw #JusticeKagan #FederalAgencies #AdministrativeLaw #TrumpLegalWin #CivilServiceRights #PresidentialControl #FederalReserve #ChecksAndBalances #USPolitics #LaborLaw #LegalPrecedent #BidenAppointees #CourtDecision #PoliticalInterference #JudicialPower #BreakingLegalNews #TrumpCourtVictory Also Read BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Promises Legal Aid to Teachers Affected by Supreme Court Job Loss Ruling :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjp-suvendu-promises-legal-support-to-jobless-teachers-after-sc-verdict-011-4115869.html?ref=DMDesc Uttar Pradesh Minister Affirms Commitment to Quality Education for Muslim Youths in Madrassas :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/committed-to-quality-education-for-muslim-youths-in-madrassas-011-3978887.html?ref=DMDesc Slovakian Supreme Court Dismisses Lawsuit By Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis Over Secret Police Allegations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/supreme-court-upholds-ruling-against-andrej-babis-over-secret-police-allegations-gen-3633545.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~
