The US Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed President Trump to fire three Democrats on the Consumer Product and Safety Commission.
The three liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.
Last month Maryland-based US District Judge Matthew Maddox, a Biden appointee, said the firings were unlawful.
The Trump Administration filed an emergency appeal to the US Supreme Court and on Wednesday the high court handed Trump a victory.

AP reported:
The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the Trump administration to remove three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who had been fired by President Donald Trump and then reinstated by a federal judge.
The justices acted on an emergency appeal from the Justice Department, which argued that the agency is under Trump’s control and the president is free to remove commissioners without cause.
The three liberal justices dissented.
