President Trump responds to SCOTUS rulings

[0:00] all right you're watching live now from fox welcome back i'm your host christy mattino and [0:05] we're keeping a close eye on the supreme court this morning we're watching these two decisions [0:09] in particular trump versus cook and trump versus slaughter and that related to president trump's [0:14] authority on firing federal officials well president trump just issuing this statement [0:18] to true social as he is now reacting here to the trump versus slaughter decision as he says big win [0:26] just moments ago at the supreme court in the slaughter case confirming presidential power [0:31] in our country to remove executive branch officers and agency appointees or representatives under [0:37] article 2 this decision was long sought by united states presidents dating all the way back to the [0:42] 1930s it is such an honor to be the sitting president who won this historic and unprecedented [0:48] ruling one of the most important ever given with respect to presidential powers thank you for your [0:53] attention to this matter now a live look here at the supreme court i just want to provide a bit [0:58] of context here as the supreme court dramatically expanded presidential power upholding president [1:04] trump's firings of the heads of the independent federal agencies with one important exception the [1:10] federal reserve now the justices allowed fed governor lisa cook to stay in her job while she fights [1:16] president trump's effort to fire her over allegations of mortgage fraud which she has denied [1:21] but other than at the nation central bank with its role of setting interest rates the court held that [1:27] presidents have free reign to fire agency heads at will despite federal laws that require a cause [1:34] for such dismissals and a 91 year old decision that had limited executive authority and that decision [1:41] humphrey's executor was overturned there and i just want to share a bit more context here about what [1:46] humphrey's executor was that president was handed down in a 1935 case that was also involved in an ftc [1:55] member who was fired in that case william humphrey refused a request to resign from frank president [2:01] franklin roosevelt but wanted to install people friendlier to his new deal initiatives that would be under [2:06] the scope of the agency now humphrey died the next year but the executor of his estate sued the administration for [2:13] back pay and the supreme court justices of the time unanimously backed the ftc and found that a [2:18] president could only get rid of a commissioner in cases of neglect or duty in certain cases so [2:25] president trump though now responding to that trump versus slaughter ruling and i wanted to bring it to [2:30] you here on live now from fox so once again the supreme court really expanding presidential power there for [2:36] president trump upholding his firings of the heads of independent federal agencies but again that one [2:42] important exception the federal reserve which we saw there with the trump versus cook case all right [2:49] so we are also getting another response in here from president trump charles do you know where we're [2:55] going to put that okay so we are just working here apparently president trump has just issued yet [3:05] another statement is it on the supreme court okay response to the mail-in ballot ruling okay so president [3:12] trump also issuing this and this is in response to the mail-in ballot ruling this text uh pretty small [3:19] here i'm going to do my best to see if i can read this to you he says in light of the tremendous loss [3:25] in the supreme court today concerning voters rights and the fact that people's votes are allowed to be [3:31] counted long after an election is over it is more important than ever to pass the save america act which is [3:38] one all voters must show photo id all voters must show proof of citizenship no mail-in ballots except [3:45] for illness disability military deployment or travel and once again this text is a bit small here we're [3:52] working to see if we can get that a bigger here for you but the supreme court issuing several decisions [3:58] here today and one of them that we're really focusing on was mail-in ballots and to just briefly recap [4:05] for you here the u.s supreme court ruling in favor of a mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be [4:11] counted in elections even if they are received after election day on monday now that court was split five [4:19] to four on the ruling with justice amy coney barrett writing the majority opinion she was joined by [4:24] chief justice john roberts as well as justices sonia sotomayor kagan and kataji brown jackson so president [4:32] trump now just reacting here on a truth social as first he reacted to the trump versus slaughter case [4:39] now he is reacting to this mail-in ballot ruling here and barrett's opinion held that election day in [4:45] the context of federal law set a deadline for when voters must make a choice regarding their preferred [4:50] candidate relevant laws however impose no standard for when ballots must be received to be considered [4:57] valid so now president trump saying this in light of the tremendous loss in the supreme court today [5:03] concerning voters rights and the fact that people's votes are allowed to be counted long [5:07] after an election is over it is more important than ever to pass the save america act so we wanted [5:14] to share that here with you on live now for fox you can read that full statement on your screen here [5:19] from the president i just wanted to share some context here with you about that decision that was just [5:24] issued a very short time ago all right so we're going to continue to monitor truth social here [5:30] as president trump now reacting to several of those decisions and once again we're unclear [5:36] when birthright citizenship in particular is going to come out as we continue to watch [5:42] the scotus blog website you can see the several opinions that were released here today [5:48] but as of right now on the calendar still no opinion days have been released as of yet so [5:55] we're going to monitor that and of course we'll bring you all those updates once we do [5:59] know when we can expect earthright citizenship that's that major one we're still watching for [6:03] we're here today [6:08] you [6:10] you [6:12] you [6:14] you [6:16] you [6:18] you [6:20] you [6:22] you [6:24] you [6:26] you [6:28] you
