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

“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...”

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."

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