At Semafor, Eleanor Mueller has a post titled “Questions remain over US Supreme Court’s Fed seat carveout.”

And earlier, at the “Lawfare” blog, Todd Phillips had a post titled “Reversing Humphrey’s Executor and the Problem of the Federal Reserve; There is simply no principled way for the Supreme Court to retain the Fed’s removal protections while overturning Humphrey’s Executor.”
