This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!

If you are celebrating, good for you. Enjoy the little wins...Just please understand where the legal process ACTUALLY stands for once?
