I was asking a legal scholar as I was reporting on this, OK, let's say I am the head of the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, and I don't want to do what Trump has told me to do in this order.

But either way, under this president, this particular president, if I don't want to do what he tells me, he's going to fire me. Right. And he has already shown that he will fire the heads of these agencies. And at that point, I might sue and say that my termination was unlawful. The thing is, that has already happened.

We've had a commissioner, for example, from the National Labor Relations Board who has who is suing and saying, you can't fire me, but you just did. when those cases, should they, and I want to stress should, make it to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court will have the opportunity to clarify what they think about the independence of these agencies.

In doing this, the administration has stressed they're trying to use these tariffs to stick it to China, which is the world's biggest steel exporter.
