“Absolutely, boss. Right away.”
- The fallen Supreme Court of the dead United States of America.
Oh goody! Your kids get to have lead in their toys again. That will do wonders for the population of poors.
Might as well close it then because the GOP aren’t going to protect any fucking consumers.
“You see, consumers are the product, and the manufacturers that produce them need compensation for their labor!”
The Consumer Product Safety Commission was created in 1972. Its five members must maintain a partisan split, with no more than three representing the president’s party. They serve staggered terms.
That structure ensures that each president has “the opportunity to influence, but not control,” the commission, attorneys for the fired commissioners wrote in court filings. They argued the recent terminations could jeopardize the commission’s independence.
Nice words, but if he can fire them and they fill the majority with Republicans leaving only 2 slots for Democrats then he does control it…
