Lady justice status is not totally blind at all because she can see who pays her more. bye by CFPB!
Keagan, Sotamyor, Jackson and the solicitor general must all get together before arguments. Their questions are loaded to make the general look good (right). If Congress can create it should be able to destroy. If this agency needs to go then Congress should just eliminate it, not mess with the funding mechanism just get rid of it. Time to reorganize the government!
Yes, reorganize the government, see my statement.
The pro always frame questions that way as the opposite is true as well.
If the Constitution doesn’t limit it then Congress can do it
This case showcased great differences in the way Justices question the Parties; a fun argument to listen to!
They're completely missing the point that the money comes from an independent agency called the Fed, not Congress. Which does matter because Congress they cannot simply vote on a new appropriation, they'd have to write and pass and amend a bill to change the amount of money. It's a different process.
Wrong
Have you heard of the FDIC? Which gets money from another source, so what's your point exactly?
46:01 isn’t this the bleeder who, at her confirmation hearing couldn’t define a woman? Now she wants to creatively define the word appropriation.
Hey lady, you can call a tail a leg, you could even define a tail as a leg, but a horse is still going to have four legs.
How did that maroooon ever get nominated to be a SCOTUS justice?
Right.!? I thought the same thing, that is so infuriating, she speaks so well now and seems to clearly understand the English language now..
Is a "bleeder" a woman?
That doesn't mean that Congress and the Supreme Court cannot ask/reasonably expect to receive a yearly financial statement from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau agency, simply accounting for government's taxpayer funds spent each year, instead of trying to actually control the "purse strings". It allows the agency's funding to be separate from government's approval authority, while maintaining the CFPB agency's responsibility to direct spending of such funds carefully. That genuinely *IS* a part of the federal government's responsibility. IMHO. This agency does work on the behalf of protecting American citizens; therefore it's important that it remains independent of increasingly powerful federal government in the United States.
The post office is private not government
It’s actually quasi government. Part government, part private.
The US Postal Service is an independent agency of the executive branch. The President appoints the governors who oversee the post office when a vacancy arises, but as an independent agency, the President alone can not force a change in their makeup, baring a vacancy to fill. It derives its funding largely through its operation but receives appropriations of Congress. It is one of the few agencies specifically authorized by the Constitution and was founded at the second continental congress in Philadelphia 1775. In 2004 the Supreme Court ruled, "The Postal Service is not subject to antitrust liability. In both form and function, it is not a separate antitrust person from the United States but is part of the Government, and so is not controlled by the antitrust laws."
So, to call it a private organization is wholly inaccurate.
Just because it was done in history doesn’t mean it fits today. The president seems to spend around the world just fine without any restrictions.
I love listening to intellectual minds, but, i must say, what they're discussing is moot as our Congress cannot even pick a Speaker, it cannot pass a budget, it cannot come to any consensus of any sort.
That being said, soneone, somehow (unless via a coup) needs to get a case to SCOTUS on restructuring our government. But this is advanced nuclear physics talk when Our Congress cannot even perform remedial math.
A true market economy is much more efficient than CFPB could ever dream of being. Superfluous agency, drop em!
In every way that's not true.
@@johnutah293 No John, prices act as market indicators and is THE most efficient way to indicate to billions of people how transactions "settle" in real time. It is impossible for people, including those who work for the government, to determine all trade offs of the exchange of goods and services for every single individual consumer and producer.
‘True market economy’ is a myth.

Sounds like MTG, but she's in no way even remotely close to being able to speak that intelligently & coherently, so it must be someone else.
The scotus judges have some serious conflict of interest with this case. And we need to keep the safeguards the cfpb has in place.
I agree with this sentiment, but I doubt the conservative justices will let the Consumer financial protection bureau get off scott free.
We might lose financial protections
They are not judges, They are Justices, one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices
@@KevinGoldfinger You can call them what you want, but the constitution calls them judges.
@@KevinGoldfinger is it a court? Do they hear arguments and make rulings? They are judges...they just have a special title. Like calling the janitor a sanitation specialist...
Congress enacted a spending bill in creating the CFPB. It decided that its function was so important that it shouldn't be subject to annual spending appropriations and instead chose to say that they are funded by the Federal Reserve and it's budget must be focused solely on the function of the agency as dictated by Congress and is provided up to a certain dollar amount as a percentage of Fed revenue indexed to inflation. That's an appropriation.
The Congress defines it as follows: "Appropriation: A law of Congress that provides an agency with budget authority. An appropriation allows the agency to incur obligations and to make payments from the U.S. Treasury for specified purposes. Appropriations are definite (a specific sum of money) or indefinite (an amount for "such sums as may be necessary")."
The appropriation here is indefinite. The agency is audited annually, reports are given to Congress on the spending and resources, the director must appear before Congress and answer for its budget if called to testify, and Congress can change or eliminate the source of funding by another act If it so chooses. By not changing it they are consenting to it every year. Sounds like an appropriation.
CFPB is Funded by a Privately Owned Consortium of Banks called the Federal Reserve and NOT THE UNITED STATES TREASURY.
It amazes me that some of the most intelligent people in this nation sit on the Supreme Court and NONE of them can see the danger inherent with how the CFPB is set up. But then again, most people do not have common sense (even the most intelligent) and it is up to those who do to try to ring the alarm before it is too late.
Are you also saying Congress also enacted a spending bill when they created the CFPB? Because the FDIC is funded by fees paid by banks.
Also, did you even read what you got from the Constitution? It literally states; to make payments from the U.S. Treasury!
The CFPB doesn't get money from the Treasury, it gets money from the Federal Reserve. They are two separate things!
Nice tartarian type building....built by horse and buggy i guess😅
The Solicitor General's argument made the point that past appropriation practices violated the separation of powers.
She said no such thing
