Future Implications: The recent SCOTUS decision ensures the Federal Reserve remains off limits from direct presidential firing power, safeguarding its role in monetary policy even as other independent agencies lose statutory protections (even if that makes little sense) www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/s...

The SCOTUS majority opinion distinguishes the Fed’s status from other agencies, reinforcing that its leaders cannot be fired except under terms set by Congress for cause or expiration of term. This carve-out ensures the Fed’s monetary policy decisions remain insulated from executive interference.

Until they carve out a carve out for the black woman he’s firing? They’ve also shadow docket procedural ruled that the Executive’s firings stand until the merits are sorted out in court. So, though they did seem to carve out the Fed, I can see that same deferential pattern repeating.
