Seen at Insty, a thought from Randy Barnett concerning this issue:
Argument: Allowing the Prez to remove administrative officials will transfer an enormous amount of power to the Prez.
Question: Transfer from whom? Who currently has all that power?
One more question: And where in the Constitution does it grant those executive powers outside the Presidency?
Ipse dixit.
Corollary thought: if Trump wanted to make a serious difference to the Judiciary, he’d nominate Randy Barnett to the Supreme Court when one of the current super-lawyers retires or croaks.
