The decision overturned a regulation governing payday lenders that never went into effect, but the judges held that the CFPB's funding, which is not subject to Congressional appropriations, is unconstitutional. The CFPB is directly funded by the Federal Reserve and is not the only financial regulator with a funding structure like this. The FDIC is also not subject to appropriations.Consumer advocates say a decision upholding this case, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, would substantially weaken the agency and destabilize the mortgage market, which relies on established rules from the agency.
Advocates also argue that a Supreme Court decision upholding the lower court's ruling could jeopardize the funding of other regulators. They also believe such a ruling could invalidate all the CFPB's prior rulemaking and enforcement actions. That "could cause chaos in the marketplace," said Lauren Saunders, associate director of the National Consumer Law Center, in a statement Monday."The Chamber has long believed, and warned Democrats and Republicans, that the CFPB’s structure is unconstitutional," said Bill Hulse, a vice president, at the Chamber, in a statement this fall.
They should transfer their work load to the fbi. Start putting the white collar criminals in prison.
