Slaughter | 2025-12-08 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Democrat | Senate | MN | Amy Klobuchar | K000367 | www.klobuchar.senate.gov | klobuchar | https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), the only Democratic Senator on both the Judiciary and Commerce Committees, released the following statement on the Supreme Court hearing oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter. “Congress has long used its power to establish independent agencies to protect consumers, workers, investors, and others without undue political pressure,” said Klobuchar. “Commissioner Slaughter’s unlawful firing goes against nearly a century of precedent that ensures these agencies remain independent and work for Americans, not the President’s friends and donors. It is deeply troubling that conservative justices appear ready to give the president even more unchecked power.” In November, Klobuchar and 207 of her congressional colleagues filed an amicus brief opposing President Trump’s unlawful attempt to remove Commissioner Slaughter without cause. Giving the President this power would jeopardize the integrity of independent federal agencies and undermine the FTC’s ability to protect the public from unfair methods of competition, fraud, and other deceptive practices. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
