Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson: The deep state must enjoy perpetual power

@amuse Dec 8

“SCOTUS: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson told the Court that presidents should not be able to fire the PhDs & experts who run the government. She even argued presidents should avoid control over transportation & the economy. In a remarkable exchange in Trump v Slaughter, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson claimed the president should have no power to fire expert bureaucrats. She said economists, PhDs, scientists, & transportation officials should operate beyond presidential reach. Such a view would carve the heart out of Article II & cement rule by permanent insiders rather than elected leadership. Jackson’s theory elevates the deep state over the voters who choose a president. That is a constitutional revolution in plain sight.

N.S.: She didn't mean what she said. She just meant republican presidents should not be able to fire deep-staters. And calling what she said a “theory” is being ultra-generous.
