Warsh on Supreme Court Fed Ruling: 'We Don't Have to Worry About Politics' — WSJ

By Chelsey Dulaney

Kevin Warsh offered his first reaction to this week's Supreme Court ruling that blocked President Trump from firing Fed governor Lisa Cook:

"Before the Supreme Court [decision], the Fed acted independently and followed its remit. After the Supreme Court ruling, the Fed will continue to do so...I believe in Article III [federal] judges. I believe in the rule of law. We'll follow the Supreme Court decision, but day to day, the decision reaffirms: We are calling balls and strikes as best we can. We're taking seriously the reform objective, and we're gonna deliver on the high promise that Congress gave us to deliver price stability in the context of our dual mandate, and when we do that, we don't have to worry about politics. We don't have to worry about judicial intervention. We get to look in front of us."
