Trump Pretends To Block State AI Laws; Media Pretends That’s Legal
U.S. Congressman Asks FTC to Investigate Possible ‘Deceptive Acts’ by PROs AllTrack & Pro Music Rights
Right-wingers are the ones who are still fighting Identity Politics. The rest of the political spectrum has moved on to more pressing issues as affordability and cartelization. At this rate, we'll reach 2050 and they'll still be waving the "woke" bogeyman. What a complete joke!
"Mr. Ferguson is transforming the F.T.C., an independent agency that aims to protect consumers and police corporate power, into an enforcer of President Trump's social and political agendas, according to more than a dozen former colleagues, antitrust experts and acquaintances. With investigations and hearings that inform the country’s policies on culture war issues, critics said Mr. Ferguson was testing the agency’s regulatory limits.
Many of the agency’s chairs have mirrored the political priorities of the presidents who appointed them. But Mr. Ferguson has made his connection unusually explicit, referring to the agency as the “Trump-Vance F.T.C.” In doing so, the 39-year-old could imperil the agency’s appearance of political impartiality when bringing lawsuits, critics said, making them harder to win. Some fear Mr. Ferguson could use his regulatory might to pursue Mr. Trump’s foes or to crack down on causes important to the left.
“There have been other chairs of the agency, other commissioners, who’ve said the president’s views are highly influential,” said William Kovacic, a former Republican chairman of the F.T.C. “But it’s the first time in the agency’s history that we’ve had a chair that has so completely aligned his program and his position with that of the president.”

FTC upholds ban on stalkerware founder Scott Zuckerman
Bad news for stalkerware kingpin Scott Zuckerman: the FTC isn't budging on his ban, even if it's 'hurting his unrelated business.' Actions have consequences, right? Where do we draw the line for accountability?

Agarwal, atty for the fired #FTC commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, says in response to the justice’s questions about the consequences of allowing a president to fire agency leaders, that “there are real-world risks that are palpable.” He cited concerns about the Federal Election Commission #FEC [can you imagine?!] being under the total control “of a political actor,” as well as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s technical determinations.
Justice #Kavanaugh pushes the lawyer for the fired #FTC commissioner Rebecca Slaughter about the #Trump admin’s argument that “independent agencies are not accountable to the people.” The justice asked how the lawyer would respond to the argument that “they’re not elected as #Congress & the President are, & are exercising massive power over individual liberty & billion dollar industries.”

Finally Sauer is finished.
The justices will now hear from Amit Agarwal the lawyer representing fired #FTC commissioner Rebecca Slaughter.
Agarwal is a special counsel for Protect Democracy, which describes itself as “a cross-ideological nonprofit group dedicated to defeating the authoritarian threat.”
He worked as a law clerk for Judge #Kavanaugh on the US Court of Appeals for DC, before #Trump nominated Kavanaugh to #SCOTUS. He also worked as a clerk for Justice Samuel #Alito.
#law 🧵
Nelson’s September article was repeatedly cited by lawyers for Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the member of the #FTC whose firing is at issue in Monday’s case, in her main #SCOTUS brief. In reply, lawyers for #Trump wrote that Ms. Slaughter’s brief “rehashes objections to the removal power” from a “recent essay by Professor Caleb Nelson.”

Federal laws requiring presidents to show cause are, on the other hand, commonplace. More than 30 statutes say that leaders of executive agencies can be removed only for some combination of the same factors cited in the #law shielding #FTC commissioners like Ms. Slaughter. Another 20 or so, like the one governing the #FederalReserve Board, say only that agency leaders may be removed “for cause,” without elaboration.
Under federal #law, #Trump is free to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a member of the #FTC. But he has to provide a reason. #Congress has defined sufficient cause to fire a member of the FTC as “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.”
#law #HumphreysExecutor #SCOTUS #ActivistCourt #Trump #Autocracy
#Trump is once again asking #SCOTUS to expand his #power as the justices on Monday consider whether he can fire #independent government officials insulated by #laws meant to shield them from #politics.
The case involves Trump’s firing of a commissioner on the #FTC & a landmark decision from 1935, which said that #Congress could put limits on the president’s authority to remove some executive branch officials.
