Trump to Supreme Court: Make Me
The Supreme Court, in a 5–4 decision this June, smacked down that previous attempt to fire her and have her immediately removed from the board, concluding that the president could fire her “for cause” but that he had failed to follow the legally required termination process. The Court left in place a lower court’s injunction that said a mere allegation of mortgage fraud against Cook did not suffice to remove her. So now he’s decided to make it look like he’s following the legal process—with one of his hatchetmen writing to Cook last week to inform her she’s on the chopping block.
