The Supreme Court has voted 6-3 in favor of hearing a lawsuit brought by a former member of the US Federal Trade Commission, CNBC reports. Democrats Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya were fired from their posts as commissioners in the FTC by President Donald Trump in March. Commissioners’ terms may only be ended early for good cause under a law designed to protect the FTC as an independent agency. In July, US District Judge Loren AliKhan ruled in favor of Slaughter, who has moved ahead with a suit to contest her dismissal, and a federal appeals court reinstated her to the FTC in September. Today, however, the Supreme Court ruled that her firing may stand while it considers her case.
