The justices said Monday they will hear arguments in December about whether that law unconstitutionally interferes with the president\u2019s ability to control the executive branch. If the court strikes down the law \u2014 as many legal experts expect \u2014 it will further hobble Congress\u2019 ability to insulate the leaders of regulatory agencies from political pressure.”<\/p>\n
