You ever get that feeling that the people we vote for aren’t really running the show? I know I do. It seems like there’s a permanent class of bureaucrats in Washington who play by their own rules, completely safe from the people they are supposed to serve. They call it the administrative state. I call it the Swamp.

And who helps them get away with it? Activist judges, of course. These are the experts at playing legal games to block the leaders we actually elect. Isn’t it amazing how they can always find a reason to rule against common sense? Well, a federal court just handed us a perfect—and infuriating—example of how the game is played.

The whole mess is about President Donald J. Trump trying to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa D. Cook. The reason? Serious accusations of what you and I would call mortgage fraud before she was appointed. But instead of letting the President clean house, a D.C. appeals court stepped in to stop him. One judge, thankfully, saw this for the nonsense it was and issued a powerful dissent.

From ‘Breitbart’:

Judge Katsas said Monday’s ruling undermined that balance by effectively letting a potentially compromised Fed official cling to power while litigation dragged on. “Even with expedition,” he warned, “judicial review can frustrate presidential action for months or even years.”

A Ruling Devoid of Common Sense

Let’s be real for a second. If you or I were accused of lying on a mortgage application, we couldn’t get a job at the local bank, let alone the Federal Reserve. The accusation itself goes to the heart of her fitness for the role. It’s a matter of basic integrity.

Judge Gregory Katsas was the only one on the panel who seemed to understand this. He pointed out that it doesn’t matter if the alleged fraud happened before her appointment. He cut through all the legal jargon with a simple truth. When it comes to firing someone for cause, “Fraud is not just a permissible reason… It is an excellent one.”

The Swamp’s Legal Smoke Screen

So how on earth did the other judges justify this? Get ready for this one. They said Cook has a “property interest” in her powerful government job. You can’t make this stuff up. Since when is a government post something you own? It’s a position of public trust, not a piece of real estate.

Judge Katsas called them out on this, too. He reminded them of a Supreme Court case from over 100 years ago that made it perfectly clear: a “public office is not property.” The court’s majority knew this. They just chose to ignore it. It’s nothing but a legal smoke screen to protect one of their own from a President trying to do his job.

High Stakes for Your Wallet

Don’t let them tell you this is just some D.C. legal drama. This is about your wallet, plain and simple. The Federal Reserve is meeting this week. They will vote on interest rates that affect your savings, your car payment, and your mortgage. And thanks to this ruling, Lisa Cook will be one of the people at that table.

How can anyone trust our economy is in good hands when a key official is making decisions under this kind of dark cloud? The court decided her job was more important than the integrity of our entire financial system.

The White House is taking this to the Supreme Court, and they should. This fight has pulled back the curtain on the whole rotten system. It shows exactly what we’re up against: a president who wants accountability, and a swamp that will do anything to stop him. This isn’t just about one person. It’s a battle for the soul of our government.

Key Takeaways

• Activist judges are using legal loopholes to shield the administrative state from accountability.
• Public office is a duty to be earned, not a “property right” to be defended in court.
• Allowing a compromised official at the Fed threatens the integrity of America’s economy.
• This case is a clear example of the ongoing battle between President Trump and the Deep State.
