looks like the republicans in the Senate will push Judy Shelton into the Federal Reserve board

Shelton is the "betsy devos" of economics.

She wants to destroy the independence of the Federal Reserve, go back to the gold standard, and the Federal Reserve should pull back its powers, and keep closer ties to the WH.

This election from all angles is so important

...all those who want more power for the Executive branch all seem to when there happens to be a Democrat in the Oval Office.

Funny that.
