I'll also point out two key aspects of this:
Democrats will never use this power because they will secretly love what the MAGA appointees do and will have an out that makes them "heartbroken but steadfast"
Trump *already did this* and *never reversed it* and everyone was like 🤷‍♂️ so I don't know why this is even relevant in our post-law, post-constitution national context.
SCOTUS rubber stamping what everyone already let the Emperor get away with is just a dead body's toenails growing

The exemption of the Federal Reserve is such a sop to like Roberts and Kavanaugh who still, charmingly, seem to have neofascist compulsions while empowering the total destruction of neofascism.
It's telling that the precedent it overturns is from the correction period of the *last* time of extreme uniparty corruption and collusion with corporate and industrial interests,
which is the wrong direction if you want to prevent a popular uprising, tbh

@johnzajac Dems: "This is good news in disguise! When we obviously win the next election, this means the new President can fire all the old regime's horrible appointees without interference! Then we'll probably not get around to fixing this imperial escalation in power."
I might be wrong, but haven't Presidents mysteriously manifested new powers every time they try some new shit without challenge and we just decide that means the Constitution says they can do it now?
Hell of a system!
