The Supreme Court is hearing arguments that could overturn a 90-year precedent, and that could possibly expand the power of the Oval Office. At issue -- President Trump's firing earlier this year of Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat appointed to the Federal Trade Commission in 2018. The Justices are weighing whether the president has executive authority to terminate officials from independent federal agencies without cause. Kelsey Dallas, Managing Editor with SCOTUSBlog, joins the show to discuss this possible decision and the factors that are leading us to believe they will side with Trump.
