Following December 8, 2025 oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, Supreme Court justices expressed widespread skepticism toward statutory for-cause removal protections for Federal Trade Commission commissioners, signaling potential overruling or narrowing of the 1935 Humphrey's Executor precedent upholding agency independence. Questions from Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Gorsuch, and others highlighted separation of powers concerns and unitary executive theory, aligning with prior rulings like Seila Law striking similar limits on CFPB and FHFA directors. With no merits decision or major updates since, trader consensus implies an 82.7% probability of SCOTUS affirming presidential firing authority by December 31, 2026 resolution, though a dissent-led reversal remains possible amid pending opinion.
