During the oral arguments, Justice Brett M. #Kavanaugh pressed Trump’s representative, Solicitor General D. John #Sauer, over the idea that a victory for #Trump could allow future admins to try to dismiss #Fed officials “at will.” [because, it’s only okay if this admin does it 🤦🏼‍♀️]

In the first hour, the justices sounded wary of siding with Trump’s view that he should have full discretion to decide what actions are grounds for removal.

I listened to Trump’s #WEF speech when I should have been listening to oral arguments at #SCOTUS.

The Supreme Court repeatedly questioned a lawyer for the #Trump admin about whether the president exceeded his authority in firing #LisaCook, a member of the #FederalReserve board, in a case with potentially enormous consequences for the #economy.
