This will be the death of the US as a world power Judgement is hear
Federal Trade Commission (FTC): On September 8, 2025, the
court paused a district court order that had reinstated a Democratic FTC
commissioner who was fired by the Trump administration. The move challenges a
1935 precedent that limited a president's power to fire FTC members.
Supreme Court allows temporary firing of FTC commissioner
On September 8, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily
blocked lower-court rulings that had reinstated Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a
Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), allowing President
Donald Trump to fire her for now. Chief Justice John Roberts issued an
administrative stay to give the court more time to consider the Trump
administration's appeal.
What happened
President Trump fired two Democratic FTC commissioners,
Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, in March 2025.
Slaughter sued, and a district judge ruled in her favor,
ordering her reinstated.
An appeals court affirmed that ruling last week, leading the
Trump administration to file an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court.
On September 8, Chief Justice Roberts issued an
administrative stay that paused the lower courts' rulings and prevented
Slaughter from continuing her work.
Slaughter had briefly returned to her post after the appeals
court decision, but the administrative stay removes her from her position until
the full court can weigh in.
What's at stake
A 1935 precedent: This case directly challenges a
90-year-old Supreme Court precedent, Humphrey's Executor v. United States.
That ruling established that the president's power to fire officials of
independent agencies like the FTC is limited.
Presidential power vs. independent agencies: The Trump
administration argues that the modern FTC has "vast executive
authority," giving the president the power to remove commissioners at
will. The administration has also successfully sought to remove officials from
other independent agencies this year.
Separation of powers: The legal conflict centers on the
constitutional balance of power, specifically whether Congress can create
independent agencies shielded from presidential control.
Legal battle to continue: Slaughter's legal challenge
will proceed, with her lawyers required to respond to the administration's
arguments by next week. The final outcome is still undecided, but the
administrative stay is a temporary win for the Trump administration.

The end times
IT IS SO SAID AND HEART BREAKING, WHERE THE CHURCH IS TODAY
I anticipated challenges, but the speed at which things are deteriorating is beyond my expectations. Let's pray for repentance within the church and for its leadership. Many are straying and turning away from the light. Nevertheless, we trust that the Father has everything under control; He is the Lord and Savior. Your commitment to the light will yield positive outcomes.
