Trump v. Slaughter · ¶248

As discussed above, this is all partly right. Yes, the Founders did “kn[ow] from experience” that some Government functions “should not be subject to political interference.” Id., at 555–556; see supra, at 503–505. Yes, this tradition need not remain “ `trapped in amber' ” while Congress continues to devise new agencies and structures to “manag[e] a vastly more complex economy in a vastly more complex world.” Cook, 609 U.
