In a 7-2 decision, the US Supreme Court ruled in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) funding mechanism is constitutional.
The CFPB operates with a funding method outside direct Congressional control. The NCLA, along with The Buckeye Institute and the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, filed an amicus curiae brief urging the Court to overturn the CFPB’s funding method as a violation of the Constitution’s Appropriations Clause.
NCLA's Mark and Vec have a lively discussion about this decision in this latest episode!
