Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday raised concerns about the Federal Reserve's independence if the court allowed President Trump to fire Lisa Cook as a member of the central bank. "If this were set as a precedent, it seems to me, just thinking big picture, what goes around comes around," Justice Kavanaugh told Solicitor General D. John Sauer, who was arguing on behalf of the administration. "All the current president's appointees would likely be removed for cause on Jan. 20, 2029, if there's a Democratic president, or Jan. 20, 2033. And then, we're really at-will removal. So, what are we doing here?" #supremecourt #scotus #federalreserve #centralbank #cspan
