This Agency Is Elizabeth Warren’s Brainchild. The Supreme Court Will Decide If It’s Constitutional
Daily Caller ^ | 10/18/2019 | Kevin Daley

The Supreme Court will hear a constitutional challenge to the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

At issue is a provision that gives the bureau’s director uniquely strong job protections — the director may only be removed by the president for-cause.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh is poised for a significant role in the case, as he wrote a sweeping 80-page opinion as an appeals court judge arguing the contested provision is unlawful.

The Supreme Court announced Friday that it will hear a constitutional challenge to the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a watchdog agency whose existence is largely credited to Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

The bureau is arranged to insulate its employees and funding streams from political pressure and ensure its independence from big banks and financial institutions. At issue in Friday’s dispute is a provision forbidding the president from removing the bureau’s director except for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.”

I’m sure Roberts will pull some quote or penumbra out of the Constitution’s ass and declare the agency legal.

Isn’t that the agency Obama was using to fine companies and give the money to Liberal causes?

Yes.

The legislature cannot create another independent branch of government, insulated from any oversight.

At least, they cannot do so Constitutionally. It makes a mockery of checks and balances.

Which appears to be its purpose!

Another superfluous agency - fairly new - how many employees do they have on the payroll?? Whatever the number, it will be a good savings to disband.

Most government agencies evolve into metastatic cancers.

This one was designed to be one from the ground up.

Warren’s ditzy brain isn’t mature enough to have a brainchild.

I call the CFPB the Commie/Fascist Plunder Barron's. It was set up as a totally independent fiefdom of Warren's to shakedown money trees and distribute to leftist organs. No doubt some of which kick backs to Warren. President Trump using a different law got his man in charge of her shakedown racket. Probably her main motivation for running, to take charge of the loot machine again.

This is agency that deserves to be DEFUNDED and DESTROYED. I hope the Supremes vote to burn it down and salt the earth it occupies. Metaphorically.

So many criminals in government...so little accountability to anyone. Hang them all. (Of course after arrest...fair trial...and conviction)
