That sort of instability is so damaging beyond the boundaries of his term. Hopefully this restores a bit of confidence.

The Supreme Court is determined to give him unfettered power to do whatever he wants so I'm sure once it reaches them they'll strike down whatever the lower court does to stop him.

Eh. They have broadly ruled with the admin on staffing decisions.

I would not at all extrapolate that to unlimited regulation of economic activity; it would be something of a reversal of their known stances on regulatory authority of federal agencies. I'm not making bets either way.

Considering that they already reversed a major precedent that specifically applies to the regulatory authority of federal agencies, I don't see why we wouldn't expect them to do it again.
