Kevin Warsh is Trump's own pick.
He became Fed chair in May.
And this ruling actually helps him.
The stated reason was alleged mortgage fraud.
A top housing official, Bill Pulte, claimed last summer that Cook had misrepresented which of two homes was her primary residence on mortgage paperwork.
And so Trump moved to fire her last August.
saying he had lost confidence in her integrity.
A lot of people saw this as a pretext.
Cook had never been charged with a crime.
Trump had been frustrated that he couldn't get lower interest rates from the Fed.
And so critics saw this less as a fraud case and more as a way to remove a governor who wasn't cooperating with what Trump wanted.
And what we see today in this 5-4 decision authored by Chief Justice Roberts was a nod
to Fed independence.
He wrote that the due process here matters, that Cook never had a chance to explain what had happened.
And so if the president can really just invent or cite any reason, if you try to get around this for-cause standard with just any single thing you'll cite, you're turning these officials into people who serve at the president's will.
And that is not the standard that we have for the Federal Reserve.
Kevin Warsh is Trump's own pick.
He became Fed chair in May.
And this ruling actually helps him.
