Petty fascist who wants to illegally fire the white guy first trumps up charges to illegally fire the Black lady as a test run for the Roberts majority’s continued credulity

Trump is pretty much saying to the Roberts majority that he thinks they’re his personal rubes in robes

Well they are. Because of their cowardice. They’ve bent themselves into pretzels to avoid ruling against him. And now they must They know the republic is over when he ignores them or if they let him break federal law We are at that point in history. @chrislhayes.bsky.social @normeisen.bsky.social

Lisa Cook is challenging SCOTUS to show some spine

Lisa Cook is likely to be disappointed in SCOTUS. Current court majority absolutely in thrall to the strong executive view. Exactly the opposite of the Framers’ intent.

SCOTUS? The ones that lied their way on? That were bribed by billionaires? That are owned by the heritage foundation or project 2025? That may likely be on the Epstein list themselves? There are three with spine and that doesn’t add up to squat with the anti-constitutional, anti American majority.

Be aware that there are stock market nitwits who want a rate cut as much as Trump does and will delude themselves into thinking this thuggish attack on an ally of Chairman Powell is good news. Keep your eyes on the currency and Treasury markets.

The court will deliberate and ultimately rule. But the foreign exchange and Treasury markets have already announced their verdict: The dollar is weaker and longer-dated Treasury bonds are sliding. A Trump-puppet Fed is unthinkable to sober, rational investors. Stay tuned...

Your dollar will be worth less, your mortgage will be more expensive and your money market earnings will fall. All so Trump can throw his weight around by trying to fire a Powell ally at the Fed. He will likely lose - or cave. Until then, markets will worry. Welcome to the Trump Economy Circus.

This is different from the Wilcox case. Trump fired her *pursuant to* the Roberts majority’s own agenda. Trump’s attempt to fire Cook is *in spite* of the Roberts majority’s agenda. He just thinks they’ll give him a pass so long as he gives them any pretext to get their quisling on.

The only thing it will show is that it is bought and paid for.
