Anyone else alarmed that SCOTUS' decision to protect fed independence (for now) was a very narrow 5-4 vote?
Thomas and Alito are no surprise but Gorsuch and Barrett are.
Majority (5)The
majority ruled to leave a lower court injunction intact, allowing Cook
to remain in her post at the central bank while her full legal challenge
against the removal moves forward.
Chief Justice John Roberts (Author of the majority opinion)
Justice Brett Kavanaugh
Justice Sonia Sotomayor
Justice Elena Kagan
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
Dissent (4)The dissenting justices argued against blocking the president's authority to remove an executive officer.
Justice Clarence Thomas
Justice Samuel Alito
Justice Neil Gorsuch
Justice Amy Coney Barrett
