Misha Tseytlin, a partner and leader of Troutman Pepper Locke’s Appellate + Supreme Court Practice Group, was quoted in the June 12, 2026, National Law Journal article, “June Boom: Supreme Court Prepares for Explosive End-of-Term Rulings.”

  • Misha Tseytlin, a Supreme Court and appellate lawyer at Troutman Pepper Locke, told Law.com this week that a ruling striking down Humphrey’s Executor would be a “major earthquake for the previously independent agencies in how they will operate.”
  • He envisioned a future where formerly independent agencies could act more like closely controlled agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, whose policies tend to shift more widely depending on who occupies the White House.
  • …
  • Tseytlin, of Troutman Pepper Locke, said the court appears to be cognizant of the economic repercussions of undermining the long-standing independence of the nation’s central bank.
  • …
  • “The Supreme Court understands that it’s important to signal to the world what it’s going to do with the Federal Reserve,” Tseytlin said.
  • That said, it’s unclear whether a ruling against Trump would resolve Cook’s future at the Federal Reserve. The justices spent considerable time during the argument debating what adequate process would look like in a for-cause removal of a Fed governor.
  • “We’ll see if the president will continue to want to fire Governor Cook or not if the Supreme Court does rule against him,” Tseytlin said. “Certainly, at some point, you could imagine the for-cause issue going back to the Supreme Court. It could be pretty quick.”
  • …
  • Tseytlin predicted states will “adjust” to any ruling limiting the counting of ballots received by election officials after Election Day, but that the case is nevertheless an “important” one in the election law context.
