The best reading of the “for cause” provision is that the bases for removal of a member of the Board of Governors are limited to grounds concerning a Governor’s behavior in office and whether they have been faithfully and effectively executing their statutory duties.
Coming soon to a Supreme Court near you, “for cause” means the failure to faithfully adhere to the policies and dictates of the president, who has sole and absolute control over all administrative agencies.

Some members of the SCOTUS don’t seem to understand the basics of the Constitution, despite supposedly being well educated and smart. Emotions and beliefs can over rule reason and evidence.

North’s adult children were apparently unaware of their father’s Aug. 27 marriage to Hall.
“We were not at the wedding because we didn’t know it was happening,” his daughter Sarah Katz told the NYT on Tuesday night. “And mostly we hope it won’t impact our relationship with our dad because we do love him and we’re still in the process of mourning our mother.”
Not even a year after his wife Betsy passed. That is messed up to be honest. I am actually angry for his offspring. What a slap in the face.

the fake electors from the 2020 election were so completely bamboozled by Trump’s Big Lie that they lacked the requisite intent
I’m sure that defense would work even if they weren’t well-connected white Republicans.
“Your honor, I was convinced by Omar Little that killing the clerk was simply evening the score!”
“Charges dismissed on the grounds of bamboozlement! Next case!”

“Thrift, thrift, Horatio: the funeral baked-meats

Or ever I had seen that day, Horatio.”

The courts cannot be held responsible for bad decisions. They have been so bamboozled by Trump’s lies, poor dears.

"Leading up to the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump directed his personal attorney at the time to threaten legal action against the colleges and high school he attended if they publicly released his grades or standardized test scores, the attorney, Michael Cohen, told Congress on Wednesday.
Cohen revealed details about the threats among a list of other actions he took on behalf of Trump in testimony before the House Oversight Committee. Cohen and Trump parted ways last year after Cohen implicated Trump in federal campaign finance violations.
“When I say conman, I’m talking about a man who declares himself brilliant but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores,” he said.
In support of his testimony, Cohen provided a May 2015 letter he penned to the president of Fordham University, the New York school Trump attended for two years in the 1960s before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania.
The letter warns that media outlets had requested Trump’s records but were denied by his legal team. Cohen reminded the school that Trump’s student records were protected by federal law, and he threatened to hold the school liable “to the fullest extent of the law” if the university released them.
Cohen emphasized that violating Trump’s confidentiality could result in “both criminal and civil liability and damages including, among other things, substantial fines, penalties and even the potential loss of government aid and other funding. This criminality will lead to jail time.”
Trump’s grades and test scores have never been made public, and they are protected under federal student privacy laws.
In a statement, Fordham spokesman Bob Howe confirmed Cohen’s account. He said that while Trump was campaigning for the presidential election, someone from his team called the university for assurance that it would not release any of Trump’s records. Officials confirmed they would not share the records with anyone except Trump."

It’s not just Treasury Secretary Scott ‘I’m Gonna Punch You in Your F—ing Face’ Bessent who is put out with Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency who has spearheaded the mortgage fraud witch hunts against Trump adversaries. Some GOP members of Congress are shitting all over him to Politico — though none would do so on the record.

I’ve noticed Kavanaugh is not a nuanced thinker. While Alito and Thomas clearly lack the temperament to be Justices, Kavanaugh also lacks the intellect. On second thought, so do Alito and Thomas.
