The Supreme Court greenlit President Donald Trump’s effort Wednesday to fire three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The Trump administration asked the justices in early July to halt an order reinstating the officials, arguing the judge disregarded the Supreme Court’s earlier decision allowing the president to dismiss officials at other agencies.
“Although our interim orders are not conclusive as to the merits, they inform how a court should exercise its equitable discretion in like cases,” the court’s order states. “The stay we issued in Wilcox reflected ‘our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing a removed officer to continue exercising the executive power than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty.”
“The same is true on the facts presented here, where the Consumer Product Safety Commission exercises executive power in a similar manner as the National Labor Relations Board, and the case does not otherwise differ from Wilcox in any pertinent respect,” the order continues.
