https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/10/20/23414311/cfpb-unconstitutional-fifth-circuit-supreme-court-trump-community-financialThree judges appointed by former President Donald Trump handed down an astonishing decision on Wednesday, effectively holding that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the federal agency charged with protecting consumers from a wide range of predatory activity by lenders and other financial services, is unconstitutional and must be stripped of its authority.
The decision by the conservative United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit relies on a novel reading of an obscure provision of the Constitution, and is entirely at odds with a Supreme Court decision that rejects the Fifth Circuits reading of that provision. This is not unusual behavior from the Fifth Circuit, which often reads the Constitution in novel and unexpected ways that benefit political conservatives and the Republican Party.

The NOT supporting Hillary is resulting in the end of everything. Like I and others said it would.

And the court, in doing this, is being "incoherent" per the experts. To do what they are doing

protecting working people from illegal financial scams? Its not like when the rich got bilked by Bernie Madoff.

requires them to completely ignore the law and the Constitution.
But we KNEW they would do that. We KNEW we were in GRAVE danger 6 yrs ago, and yet...

the most conservative, reactionary, partisan Court. The Go-to Court for conservatives holding the country back like they have done for two centuries.
