I listened to Trump’s #WEF speech when I should have been listening to oral arguments at #SCOTUS.The Supreme Court repeatedly questioned a lawyer for the #Trump admin about whether the president exceeded his authority in firing #LisaCook, a member of the #FederalReserve board, in a case with potentially enormous consequences for the #economy.#law https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/21/us/supreme-court-fed-lisa-cook?smid=nytcore-ios-share

During the oral arguments, Justice Brett M. #Kavanaugh pressed Trump’s representative, Solicitor General D. John #Sauer, over the idea that a victory for #Trump could allow future admins to try to dismiss #Fed officials “at will.” [because, it’s only okay if this admin does it 🤦🏼♀️]In the first hour, the justices sounded wary of siding with Trump’s view that he should have full discretion to decide what actions are grounds for removal.#law #FederalReserve #economy #independence #SCOTUS

@Nonilex The Court will rule against Trump, because big business and $ win over Trump. Rare exception to the Trump Always Wins rule. (Same with tariffs.)

The #FederalReserve sets #MonetaryPolicy & #InterestRates, among other duties, & when #Congress established it, lawmakers worked to insulate it from #political #influence. Its leaders have 14-year terms & may be removed only “for cause.” But #Trump has increasingly attacked the #Fed, pressuring it to lower interest rates as well as trying to push out its chair, #JeromePowell, & fire board governor #LisaCook.#law #economy #independence #SCOTUS #authoritarianism

The justices have signaled that the #Fed may be uniquely protected from presidential meddling, even as the court’s conservative majority has allowed #Trump to fire leaders of other #independent #FederalAgencies.#law #FederalReserve #economy #independence #SCOTUS #authoritarianism

#Trump has made clear he wants the chance to stack the nation’s #CentralBank with #political #loyalists. In court, the admin has strenuously steered clear of this rhetoric. Outside of court, though, Trump has repeatedly boasted about the changes he hopes to bring to the #Fed.#law #FederalReserve #economy #independence #SCOTUS #authoritarianism https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/us/politics/trump-supreme-court-fed.html?smid=url-share

@Nonilex I've long said that they'll let Trump get away with anything he wants as long as he doesn't fuck with the money. Guess we'll see if I'm right.

@Nonilex Yes, because their finances would be affected as well. Apparently, principles only matter when there is a personal stake involved.

#SCOTUS seems inclined to reject Trump’s effort to immediately oust #FederalReserve governor #LisaCook after hearing oral arguments Wednesday.the #US #economy & the #independence of the nation’s #CentralBank are at stake in the case.#Trump has been highly critical of what he sees as the slow pace of #InterestRate reductions by the #Fed under the leadership of Chair #JeromePowell [because he wants it to appear as if the economy is doing well, even if it isn’t].#law https://apnews.com/live/supreme-court-lisa-cook-federal-reserve-arguments-updates?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2026-01-21-Breaking+News

@Nonilex this Court has shown that "looks" truly can be deceiving so I'm going with that Missouri state motto...Show Me. I don't hear a woman singing either.
