You're sending a message to everybody that this is what you will face if you don't think very hard about giving the president what he wants.
You know, the timing of this is also remarkable because Lisa Cook, the Fed governor who's going to be in the Supreme Court next week, her attorneys have been arguing that she's being dismissed over a pretext.
And they can now point to this and say, see, look, this is what Trump actually wants.
He wants to just get control of monetary policy.
And the Supreme Court justices can't unsee what Powell said on Sunday night.
On Sunday night, you had a Republican senator from North Carolina, Tom Tillis, who is retiring, and he's on the Senate Banking Committee, which is the committee that has jurisdiction over the Fed that will oversee the confirmation of the next Fed chair.
He said, I will not vote on any nominee for the Fed, including the next chair, until this is behind us.
That's important because Republicans right now have a 13 to 11 majority on the Senate Banking Committee.
So if they lose one vote, you know, as long as Tillis votes no and every Democrat shows up and votes no, you no longer can refer positively a nominee out of that committee.
If you get four senators on the Republican side who take that position and they really stand by it, it could be very difficult to confirm a new Fed chair if this escalates further.
I don't know.
I mean, yeah, it's like we're getting into all these hypotheticals that I didn't think we were going to... You know, it's 1 a.m.
Monday morning and I'm reading Congressional Research Service papers on, well, what happens when there's a vacancy?
And here's the answer.
You know, there have been two times...
in the modern fed where the new fed chair wasn't confirmed when the old chairs term expired and what happened in those two scenarios in 1948 and 1978 the outgoing chair stayed in the job and served his chair for a couple of months a couple of weeks but we we don't know here this is uncharted waters
If you're picked to be the Fed chair, are you willing to face the same intimidation that the current Fed chair is facing, and how will you react to it?
That wasn't a question that you would have expected
to have been asked before this, would you fight a criminal investigation?
How far are you willing to go?
