The Supreme Court Just Radically Expanded Federal Power
"This affirms a principle that has underpinned sound economic stewardship for generations, that the Federal Reserve must make all its policy decisions guided by evidence and independent judgment, free from political interference."
While expanding presidential power over most agencies, the Supreme Court specifically blocked Trump's attempt to fire Federal Reserve official Lisa Cook over mortgage fraud allegations. The Court created a carve-out protecting Fed officials from presidential removal, maintaining the central bank's political independence even as Trump gains authority over other executive branch agencies.
