And that means that there's more corruption and Americans are less safe.
It also just means that the whole mission of the Bureau has been corrupted.
And another interesting thing that's happened since our piece came out is that Blair Tolman is one of the leading plaintiffs in a new lawsuit against the FBI.
And this is a lawsuit that is challenging the dismissals that have been part of what the plaintiffs say is a political purge.
Thank you for having us.
Thanks so much, Rachel.
Sure thing.
Yeah, I mean this is an important decision.
First of all, it's an important decision because President Trump made it a really big deal.
He cares enormously about tariffs.
We all have gotten that message.
And so for the court to say no to him and to turn him back is a serious exercise of its power.
And I think there's another couple reasons why this decision matters a lot.
One is just the sort of basics of what the court is doing here.
Just as a matter of like basic statutory interpretation, which is a lot of what courts do, I think the majority's rejection of the Trump administration's reading of the statute is pretty clearly the better reading.
At the same time, there is an argument on the other side.
I mean, Justice Kavanaugh's dissent scores some points.
And so because there is some law on both sides, the fact that
This six to three majority, which includes three conservatives, is rejecting President Trump's reading becomes sort of even more important, like they could have gone in a different direction and they didn't.
And then I think the third thing that's important here is that this ruling is consistent with the court's approach to some emergency powers that President Biden tried to use.
