The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to lift lower court rulings that have blocked President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
The request, which was expected, came after Cook participated this week in a meeting of the Fed’s Federal Open Market Committee, which decided to cut its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point.
“This application involves yet another case of improper judicial interference with the President’s removal authority — here, interference with the President’s authority to remove members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for cause,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in the Justice Department’s application to the Supreme Court.

(End the Fed!)
Neither. It is a Dependent agency of a gang of Banksters. Their MAIN purpose is to maintain a positive rate of inflation, otherwise known as Theft. They tell us they're goal is to keep it nice and low at 2%. However, the slippery truth is that 2% is their target increase in boiling our water, not so much that we boil, but just enough to support a yearly goal of 2% theft.
Dollars are not money, nor wealth. Dollars are derivatives of money, but otherwise a dollar is a unit of debt to the FED, interest collected by the IRS.
Hopefully, SCOTUS will appreciate the government waiting until after the meeting. Otherwise, it would have been dumped in their lap on Monday night after the appeal went 2-1 in favor of Cook. I expect SCOTUS to reverse in favor of the government (Trump).
I have no expectation that Trump will win this one. SCOTUS will be inclined to protect the independence of the Fed and will simply say that being accused is insufficient reason to fire her. Get a conviction, then it will be a done deal.
Notice in the article that they didn’t show the document itself.
From what I understand, it was a loan application she submitted two months before the actual mortgage loan. Those are not signed under oath and are not “official” documents. I can submit a loan application and put whatever I want on the document. It means nothing. What matters is the documents she signed at closing.
I think when she found out how much the interest rate would be for a vacation home loan, she then switched to saying it was a primary residence.
This poses an interesting question in principle in that Congress was originally supposed to coin money.

If you have or can find a picture of an older FR note, you’ll see in the fine print that it can be ‘exchanged for lawful money at any Federal Reserve Bank’, which, assuming that I know how to read, means that FR notes were a substitute for ‘lawful’ money, ie. Treasury notes (red seal), silver certificates (blue seal) or gold certificates (gold seal).
Right. Which is it? Make up your minds.
This is ridiculous.
CAN COOK BE PROSECUTED FOR MORTGAGE FRAUD?????
To my mind, what the Founders meant was physical silver and.or gold coin, bullion, etc. having defined the Dollar as one ounce of silver.
The dollar was based on the Spanish milled dollar out of Mexico. Foreign coins were legal tender (at values determined by Congress) in the U.S. until the 1850s. It’s hard to believe now, but Mexico was much wealthier because of all the silver than the U.S. at the time.
