Democrats who favor an unaccountable administrative state are screaming over the latest U.S. Supreme Court ruling. What could be upsetting them so much? SCOTUS ruled that the President of the United States, as the head of the executive branch of the U.S. government, can fire government officials who serve below him or her. Democrats are calling this common-sense decision utter lunacy. MS NOW legal analyst Barb McQuade melted down over the ruling on Monday.
She wants incredible power vested in unelected, unfirable officials (aka the Deep State). (WATCH)
As part of the MSNOW meltdown over SCOTUS ruling that presidents can fire executive branch agency officials, Barb McQuade calls it:

The media hysteria over the idea of reining in the permanent unelected bureaucracy is telling. pic.twitter.com/yCai4TSjHv
Imagine someone thinking you could fire your employees, just because you’re in charge of them.
— Jim O'Kane (@TVDadsdotcom) June 29, 2026
We can’t have unelected bureaucrats answering to an executive officer elected by the people of the United States. It would be madness!
McQuade’s fear of accountability for an unelected ruling class is palpable. Posters correctly see what she is truly advocating.
The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

So you admit a fourth, unelected branch of government exists?

Oh, she'll never admit that. She's a liar.
— Mark Noonan (@Mark_E_Noonan) June 29, 2026
She just wants her side to run things no matter what the voters decide. She hasn't got the guts to admit that.
A permanent unelected bureaucracy is not part of our representative republic.

Especially when every single bureaucrat in said bureaucracy is a unionized Democrat

McQuade wants Democrats who make up the vast majority of the federal bureaucracy to maintain power and exert control even when their party loses elections.
Sane people side with an elected President severely limiting the deep state’s power. That’s ultimately accomplished by firing them.
Chief executive officer can fire lesser executives is a shocking development for america - said no one ever.

“Executive Branch agency leaders should be handed a lifetime position immune from the will of the Chief Executive and the people that elected him into office."
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) June 29, 2026
Again, what?
This idea of an untouchable, entrenched bureaucracy means the President cannot exercise the will of the people who put him or her in office.
That's why 'democracy-loving' Democrats are losing their minds.
They are upset their evil little bureaucratic placements are being rooted out.

It's the END of DEMOCRACY 😬

Again? Not really. It’s just the end of the Democrat Party’s hold on power in Washington, D.C. Not sorry, Babs. Not sorry at all.
