DOJ Argues Social Media Post Constitutes Due Process in Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Firing Case

Discover the radical legal threshold the Trump DOJ argued constituted constitutional due process for removing a Federal Reserve Governor. Assess the immediate judicial pathway that will likely send this executive overreach case directly to the US Supreme Court.

Short Summary

  • The Department of Justice argued that a social media post alleging mortgage fraud provided Governor Lisa Cook with sufficient due process notice.
  • Judge Gia Cobb expressed severe discomfort with the DOJ's argument but also showed concern regarding Cook’s lack of defense on the merits of the allegations.
  • The fundamental legal battle hinges on defining what constitutes valid "for cause" termination for a Fed Governor following recent Supreme Court precedent.
  • A ruling on Cook's temporary injunction is expected Tuesday, setting up a fast-track progression to the US Supreme Court, potentially before October.

This analysis details the hearing concerning Lisa Cook’s motion to block her termination by the Trump administration. The high-stakes outcome determines whether the President can seize control of the Federal Reserve's independent monetary policy apparatus by summarily removing members.

Description

A federal judge was not pleased when the Trump DOJ argued that a social media post accusing Fed Reserve Governor Lisa Cook of mortgage fraud gave her 5th Amendment Due Process, allowing her to be fired by Trump when she didn’t “respond” to the mean tweet! Michael Popok gives a bird's-eye view of what went down in Judge Cobb’s courtroom today on the hearing on Cook’s Motion for Temporary Injunction to save her job, and a candid assessment that both sides have some troubles that the Judge is taking the weekend to sort out.
