In anticipation of an eventual Trump v. Slaughter ruling, Spencer and Ryan follow up last week’s special episode by outlining the arguments in favor of ex-FTC commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. After Clarence Thomas and the other Court conservatives prodded Slaughter's representative Amit Agarwal, it turned out that the respondents' argument could, in principle, be used to engineer a wholesale takeover of government power by Congress and the administrative state. Will Humphrey's Executor be overturned? Ryan and Spencer make their bets.
