The Supreme Court justices showed considerable skepticism during oral arguments over the Trump administration's legal strategy to remove Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook. The hearing highlighted fundamental questions about presidential authority over independent agency leadership and the scope of executive power in financial governance. Legal experts have been closely watching how the court's decision could reshape the boundaries of executive influence over central banking decisions, particularly as monetary policy remains a critical factor in broader economic stability and market conditions.

The Supreme Court can't handle this time. The issues of presidential power and independent agencies are really not that simple.

Now the president's power is going to be tightly constrained, and the independence of the central bank has been preserved.

Once again, it's the old routine of presidential power vs. independent agencies. When will it finally settle down?

Laughing to death, it's another power game, and we retail investors just sit back and watch the show. Okay, the U.S. Supreme Court is also starting to grab chairs, this is more intense than the crypto world. If even the central bank governor can be taken down, can I still feel secure about my assets? Just playing around here. Wait, if this really happens, the Fed's independence is gone, and my short positions are safe. Power vs. independence, honestly, this script is more exciting than any crypto drama. Basically, it's still about who has the final say. We retail investors will just continue to take the hit. Oh my, even the financial lifeline is about to be reshuffled. I'm hooked on this palace intrigue. No matter who wins or loses, in the end, we still have to pay the market's bill. If this really changes the rules, the market will have to reprice, and my dreams will be gone again. The president wants to pick cherries, but the court is checking if the pole is long enough. Why should we care?

Here we go again, talking about presidential power. Basically, it's just about trying to block the Federal Reserve's personnel decisions.

Uh, the Supreme Court is playing the power game again, this time it's the Federal Reserve's turn? --- The removal of Lisa Cook feels like a tug-of-war between presidential power and independence... --- Honestly, isn't it just about wanting to control monetary policy? This script is so old. --- I don't understand why they have to extend their hands so far; can't the Federal Reserve be independent? --- The key is how the court rules, that will determine who has the final say in the future... --- Laughing out loud, they want to control both fiscal and monetary policies, is that all there is to the big picture?
