Charlie Pierce asks, "Did the Supreme Court Defer Lisa Cook’s Removal from the Federal Reserve Only to Protect Their Wallets?"
Simple question, have a simple answer.
Oh, look. The Supreme Court justices vote their pocketbooks—or their portfolios—just like all the rest of us do. Lisa Cook gets to keep her job at the Federal Reserve—for a little while longer, anyway. From The Wall Street Journal:
………
I suspect that’s what this is all about. It’s spurious that the court gave the Fed an exception to protect it from the president’s license to fire anyone in the executive branch. It’s what Scott Lemieux at Lawyers, Guns, and Money calls Roberts’s stare circulus jerkus. Still, Lisa Cook gets to keep the gig for a while as she prepares her wrongful-termination lawsuit against, well, everybody. And the president gets to fume and fulminate in the White House. Small victories.
To be fair, they were also protecting their rich fair-weather friends who fly them to Alaska, or Soiuth East Asia for lavish junkets as well.
The US Supreme Court is profoundly and deeply corrupt, and it has been since well before they ruled in Bush v. Gore in 2000.
