Every living former chair of the Federal Reserve, as well as a slew of ex-Treasury secretaries and former White House economic advisors, urged the Supreme Court not to allow President Donald Trump to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook as her lawsuit challenging her removal is pending.

Signers included ex-Fed chairs Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen; ex-Treasury secretaries Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, Hank Paulson, Jack Lew, and Timothy Geithner; and ex-CEA chairs Glenn Hubbard, Greg Mankiw, Christina Romer, Cecilia Rouse, Jared Bernstein, and Jason Furman.

Irrelevant. The law is the law.

Every living former chair of the Federal Reserve...

never elected by the people...

[kiryandil]

Lisa Crook.

[Resolute Conservative]

And I hope the SCOTUS adheres to it.

[blackdog]

Sadly defining themselves as absurd largesse and bureaucratic alliances that act only in the interest of that bureaucracy.

[butlerweave]

Cook is not honest and should be nowhere near money

[volare737]

They are all saying loudly and clearly that character, honesty and integrity ARE NOT requirements to serve on the FED.

[bakeneko]

Every one of those names deserves to be behind bars for their decades of raping the American middle class.

[bk1000]

I am convinced now more than ever that Cook is strictly DEI and must go.

[Joann37]

Too bad. 100% of MAGA wants her out. And so does the law.

[Joann37]

Very well stated!

[Red Badger]

None of this has anything to do with Constitutionality, just their liberal opinions...............

not so long ago there were 50 respected and revered law enforcement officers that signed a letter indicating Hunters laptop was a russian fake.

I don't get it. Why do people actually think that because they signed a letter some minds would be changed? Or possibly an out, as in "sorry Lisa, I did what I could. It's out of my hands now".

Whatever...

[Pete Dovgan]

She committed mortgage fraud. All the Dems believe this is a big deal, and said so with Trump. She has disqualified herself from the position. People need to move on.

[9YearLurker]

More likely they signed a letter the Dem lawfare crew wrote for them.

[NonValueAdded]

There’s a reason why they are “former.”

[philman_36]

Interesting... Letters of support: For criminal cases, friends and family of a defendant may submit "letters of support" to the judge before sentencing. These are not legal briefs but personal testimonials about the defendant's good character, community involvement, and potential for rehabilitation, which may influence the sentencing decision.

So lets get the lawsuit concluded.

If she claims she signed the mortgage application wrongly because she didnt understand it, then fire her for financial stupidity.
