Trump v. Slaughter · ¶137

Perhaps, then, if any real response is to come it will have to come from this Court. And that’s hardly unfair. To be sure, Congress had a hand in creating the problem we now face. But this Court bears responsibility as well. It was this Court that decided Humphrey’s. It was this Court that sat by while Congress delegated vast legislative and judicial powers to one independent agency after another. And it is this Court that today allows the President to remove those agencies’ leaders and exercise effective control over all their powers. If the task of fixing a problem belongs to those who made it, this Court has some work to do.
