Megan Horneman explains the legal, political, and economic implications of this scenario, the Supreme Court case that’s brought it back into the spotlight, and what it could mean for investors.

We’ll also explore:
➡️ The independence of the Federal Reserve
➡️ Why Jerome Powell’s role is in the news again
