From today's order in Trump v. Slaughter:The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment, and the petition is granted.
The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether the statutory removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission violate the separation of powers and, if so, whether Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U.S. 602 (1935), should be overruled.
(2) Whether a federal court may prevent a person's removal from public office, either through relief at equity or at law.
