THREAD: Judy Shelton's views are so dangerous, even principled conservatives are OPPOSED to her nomination.

"Shelton’s views on monetary policy are far outside the mainstream. Too far.

Judy Shelton Was a Bad Fed Choice Even Before the Coronavirus

Stand firm, skeptical Republican senators. Central bank independence and seriousness have never been needed more.

Judy Shelton “is unlikely to exercise the steady and independent judgment that one would like to see from a central bank.”

The Wrong Kind of ‘Intellectual Diversity’ at the Fed

Judy Shelton has some rather glaring inconsistencies in her past.

“A generous interpretation of Shelton’s simultaneously holding contradictory monetary policy views is not that she is intellectually confused but rather that, in order to win the president’s nomination, she is simply pandering to Trump...”

Trump's bizarre Federal Reserve nomination

Among President Trump’s more bizarre nominations for office has to be his nomination of Judy Shelton to fill one of the Federal Reserve Board governor vacancies.

Appointing Judy Shelton "would have worrying implications for the world’s dominant central bank, and for the power of US institutions in the face of a president who feels unconstrained by traditional checks and balances."

Senate must act to keep the Fed independent

The president’s latest board nominee is a deeply flawed candidate

"Ms Shelton... is not fit for the Fed. Whatever she says, the Senate should reject her nomination."

Why the Senate should reject Judy Shelton’s nomination to the Fed

It is not her views that are the problem so much as her motives
