All you peacenik liberals wringing hands over what to do: Yes, of course, vote. It's your primary responsibility as a citizen.
But now more than ever, fulfill your second civic responsibility: Serve on juries. Never has it been more imperative to thwart rogue injustice.

Trump has declared he is firing Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Since his legal authority to do so is under legal question, and stock market traders are sensitive to Federal Reserve statements, Powell should go all out to defend her and should treat her as still a Governor.
NEW PIECE: I'm back, finally, and its a long one. Superficially this moment is a vindication for Central Bank Independence but at a deeper level, cutting the Fed off from its independent agency brethren is its death warrant.

Lawyers too.
I need to hear a lot of economists speaking up for Lisa Cook. This is actually very important.

Dissent: “The notion that courts are powerless to prevent the President from abolishing the agencies of the federal government that he was elected to lead cannot be reconciled with either the constitutional separation of powers or our nation’s commitment to a government of laws.”

Website for top US climate reports goes dark
The White House didn't respond to questions about the National Climate Assessments. Their disappearance is in line with the administration's past actions.

I remember an anecdote that in an Oval Office meeting the topic of due process came up and someone started to explain the concept to Pres. Obama. President Obama, a lawyer, looked them in the eye and said something to the effect of “I know what due process is.”
