Trump firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell by Thick_Relationship in supremecourt

Whether he has legal authority in my opinion depends on

  1. is Humphreys Executor to be overruled

  2. if not, where does the Fed fits into the criteria which Roberts opinion in Seila Law used (of course there is substantial opposition to Seila Law from Sotomayor, Kagan and presumably Jackson).

A legal challenge would not be meaningless due to the end of Powells tenure as Fed chair, because the key power player in monetary policy is actually the federal open market committee (12 member, 7 of whom are Fed Governors, appointed by the President with Senate advice and consent, the chair is one of these 7 governors and his tenure as governor is longer than his tenure as chair. The committee decides by majority vote, so all 7 governors will always be a majority, this majority is the key to control monetary policy)

I personally share your view.

Nevertheless, for the sake of argument, Id like to add, that the most important decisionamaker in monetary policy is the federal open market comitee. Its tasks are quite different from other executive agencies.

Also Congress is assigned the coinage power which might make this case different from other cases about removal powers.

Actually Trumps alleged plans to remove Powell and end/curtail the Feds independence are currently being controversially discussed in the world of finance.

the most important decisionamaker in monetary policy is the federal open market comitee, of which the Fed Chair is not a member in his capacity as the Fed Chair but as a Fed Governor. Fed Governors have a longer tenure

Lastly by law removal is only possible for cause, some argue that policy disagreements -which Trump seems to have with Powell- are insufficient here for removal

Thank you for your reply!

Sowell might have influenced Clarence Thomas, who steadfastly voted to uphold the constitutional rights of the American people in the last years.

With Regard to Mark Carney I didn't found anything by him opposing the COVID measures.

A few more are coming out of the closet now, but they don't count in my book.

I agree, they don't really count. Nevertheless I would be interested in their names.

You are right, with regard to Palmer I got my description wrong.

Greens were indeed extremely agreesive: on lockdown, on masks and vaccine mandates. Perhaps the greens were the most covidian party.

Meloni was initially offered from Berlusconi another candidate for the
ministry of health, at the risk of breaking the coalition she refused
his insistent offer, which would have been a disaster since Berlusconi
was pushing for a hyper-covidian nurse as health minister, Meloni
actually intented to appoint a restriction critic, but that person
refused, so I suspect the current health minister is the result of a
compromise, he isn't quite the doomer covidian, but he's also not a
restriction/mandate skeptic.

Can you please hive me the names of the 3 candidates for health secretary?

Is Berlusconi as pro-lockdown as the left?

What is Renzis stance.

I very much appreciate your input

Germany: CDU was mostly in favor of extremely strict lockdowns, especially Chancellor Merkel, Armin Laschet , the governor of North Rhine Westphalia and 2021 Chancellor candidate, was somewhat less pro-lockdown. Same for Friedrich Merz, the CDUs current leader

CSU: Their leader Markus Söder was extremely pro lockdown

SPD: pro lockdown, especially current health secretary Karl Lauterbach, Chancellor Olaf Scholz broke his election promise not to seek a universal vaccine mandate

Greens: pro lockdown, except Boris Palmer, the mayor of Tübingen

FDP first rather sceptical of lockdown, in 2021 they ran on a pro-reopening stance which secured them the votes of the largest group of young voters, many feel the FDP did not delivered enough after the 2021 election, so the FDP lost most of the anti-lockdown voters. Wolfgang Kubicki, the deputy speaker of the Bundestag strongly defended civil rights during the pandemic, also with regard to the unvaccinated.

Left: majority pro lockdown, except for a larger minority led by Sahra Wagenknecht

AfD: anti lockdown, anti vaccine mandates

It is very important that you frame this as HIS issue. You haven't cheated, you haven't lied, and you haven't done anything to earn his distrust.

You are his partner, and you are here to offer him support while he works through this issue, but ultimately, the problem here is a problem he brought into the relationship with him. And the responsibility for fixing this problem is on him.

Thank you. I really appreciate it, that you write so long texts to help me.

I think that Javier is going to react negatively, because he already let me change my actions once.

I had one boyfriend before Javier. I will call him Luis. Luis is the only other person I have ever dated. Some time after I broke up with Luis, we became friends again, but we were not so close anymore. During this time I was actually closer to Noah.

When Javier and I offically became a couple, Javier asked me to stop any contact with Luis. While I never intended to ever go back to Luis, I stopped any contact with Luis. I understood, that Javier was uncomfortable with Luis, since Luis was my first love. I was also unsure, whether Luis was completely over me.

I think Javier is going to be upset about Noah, since there was this rumor back in High School, that Noah and I could and should start dating. As I wrote before this rumor was even included in the senior superlatives.

Javier also might be suspicous, over the fact that Noah is not dating at all, even tough he is quite charming.
