Of course, the Trump administration appealed that decision and ultimately won!
Here’s a breakdown of the ruling:
Not only is this ruling a victory for President Trump, but it also signals the the Supreme Court may be ready to strike down provisions that prevent the executive branch from firing at-will members of independent agencies.
President Trump fired two Democratic-appointed FTC commissioners in March 2025: Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya.
The FTC Act allows commissioners to be removed only for cause, such as inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance.
Slaughter challenged her firing in court, and a federal judge ordered her reinstated.
The D.C. Circuit Court upheld that reinstatement order.
Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily stayed the order, keeping Slaughter removed while the legal fight continued.
On September 22, 2025, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case in December and allowed Trump’s firing of Slaughter to stand for now.
The case challenges a 90-year-old precedent, Humphrey’s Executor v. United States (1935), which protects independent agency officials from being removed without cause.
Liberal justices dissented, warning that the Court is undermining agency independence.
The ruling could expand presidential power to remove members of independent regulatory agencies, reshaping the balance of power between the executive branch and independent bodies.
If so, then that would essentially give President Trump the green-light for some major purges!

Fox News has more on what the Supreme Court’s decision could mean:BREAKING – TRUMP WINS: Supreme Court 6-3 ALLOWS President Trump to fire Democrat Rebecca Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission.
The activist judges who re-hired the Biden-appointee and declared themselves president LOST. Article 2 WON.
NOT ONLY THAT: SCOTUS is agreeing to decide if “removal protections” for the FTC are unconstitutional. This means they may strike down these provisions that may be overstepping executive authority, and preventing Trump (and any president) from firing officials from the FTC.

The temporary decision to maintain Biden-appointed Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter’s termination was issued 6-3 along ideological lines. The Supreme Court set oral arguments in the case for December.
Trump’s decision to fire Slaughter and another Democrat-appointed commissioner, Alvaro Bedoya, faced legal challenges because it stood in tension with the FTC Act, which says commissioners should only be fired from their seven-year tenures for cause, such as malfeasance.
Trump fired Slaughter and Bedoya shortly after he took office without citing a cause other than the president’s broad constitutional authority over the executive branch. Bedoya resigned, but Slaughter vowed to fight her firing in court and see the case through to its conclusion.
A lower court initially sided with Slaughter and reinstated her, but she has since been fired and rehired several times as her case made its way to the Supreme Court. Monday’s decision came after the Trump administration asked the high court on an emergency basis to temporarily pause Slaughter’s reinstatement while it considers the merits of the case.
The Supreme Court’s decision to keep Slaughter’s firing intact means she will remain sidelined from the FTC until after the high court hears arguments about the case in December.
The case raises a pivotal question of whether Trump has the ability to fire members of independent agencies as the president pushes for a more unified executive branch. Independent agencies, such as the FTC, various labor boards and the Securities and Exchange Commission, have long been insulated by law from at-will firings.
