“Shortly after the Supreme Court blocked President Trump from immediately ousting a sitting governor from the Federal Reserve, the president struck a defiant note, signaling he would not surrender his long-running fight to gain more sway over one of the most important stewards of the U.S. economy,” the New York Times reports.
“In the eyes of Mr. Trump, the 5-to-4 decision reached by the justices on Monday amounted only to a legal setback, not an insurmountable defeat. Even as the court acknowledged the century-old tradition of political independence at the nation’s central bank, it did not totally foreclose on the president’s ability to try to dismiss its officials in the future.”
