Thanks so much for having me.
Yes, absolutely.
And if only I could manifest everything the Supreme Court would do.
But yes, so the case they're hearing tomorrow is the president is purporting to operate kind of within the strictures that they gave him.
They said Congress can limit fraud.
the circumstances under which presidents can fire governors of the Federal Reserve Board to what's called good cause.
And the president is claiming to have good cause for firing Lisa Cook.
And so it's really going to be about the extent to which the court is willing to review the president's claims to have good cause.
And that's, of course, going to be bound up into, I think, their really felt need to continue to allow the Fed to make independent monetary policy.
Right.
Absolutely.
That is definitely going to be hanging over the argument because I think what it underscores is the president is really not going to stop trying to drum up pretty dubious claims about why he has cause to fire any governor of the Federal Reserve.
that he doesn't like.
And so the fact that the president is basically trying to use these cause exceptions to fire whoever he wants, it would be impossible for the justices not to acknowledge that and have that influence their thinking about the case.
They have.
And my guess is they are not going to want to call him a liar.
And this case, you know, is one of the ones that tees up, you know, will they listen to the president's somewhat specious claims?
I mean, I don't think many people think he's firing Lisa Cook because of these allegations of mortgage fraud, just like many people don't.
Exactly.
They are just allegations.
