Excited to see what novel legal theory SCOTUS comes up with to say this attempted removal is consistent with their ruling from 3 months ago that explicitly said he didn’t have the authority to do this.

I guess university Latin departments are going to be fine, what with all the new fancy-sounding phrases judges are going to have to keep making up.

Get ready for the broadest definition of "for cause" you could possibly imagine.

This attempted firing can and should be challenged. And no rate decisions should be made while the case is ongoing...

One wonders which method of interpretation the majority will apply to agree with Trump. Textualism? Original meaning? Judicial Precedent? Moral Reasoning? Structuralism? Or Party Über Alles? Heritage Foundation SCOTUS has so many record-making harm-causing decisions, it earns a hall of shame.

Over/under on simply admitting it’s Calvinball, and the population of the US - 6 can just suck it up?

Something along the lines of “eh it’s fine if it’s a Black”

Simple: He's allowed to remove people for cause, and he's doing it 'cause he wants to.

When they said he didn't have the authority to remove a Fed governor, they were referring to the WHITE governors.

It follows the precedent of taking things seriously but not literally, or was that the other way around? With these people, I forget.

It’s always the smart women being removed from their high ranking positions, be they in the military, heading an academic institution or is a political appointee. They don’t remove the men. #FederalReserve

I mean, you are optimistic. You think they'll have a theory. I'm looking forward to an unsigned opinion on the shadow docket, with zero justification, followed by bluster from Kav and Gor about how the lower courts are disrespecting them.

They were just making up the law then so they’ll do it again no doubt

They’re going to rule that accusations by the president’s friends constitute a complete trial with a guilty verdict.

The fig leaf is that Trump can fire for cause. They will claim that the law didn't define that in any detail, thus it is what ever Trump says it is.
