Federal District Court: Elizabeth Warren's Creation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Is Unconstitutional

Courts have found the law creating the CFPB unconstitutional in that it creates a "Director" running it, who is, in theory, a member of the Executive Branch, but then puts that Director unconstitutionally beyond the reach of the actual Executive, the President, stating that he can only be fired for cause.

One court reviewing this en banc chose to say that part is unconstitutional, but it can be "severed" from the rest of the law, and the law just rewritten by judge's fiat to say the Director can be fired by the president, like any other executive officer, for any reason.

Actually, a clarification: I think the rule is that members of a committee exercising executive power can be made fire-proof (or fireable only for cause), but you can't vest that kind of unfireable power in a singular head, as a Director is.

But one district judge says, "Nah, bro," and finds that that the can-only-be-fired-for-cause provision is part of the heart of the CFPB, and therefore cannot simply be severed/written out of the bill.

As that part is unconstitutional, and cannot be severed from the bill creating the CFPB, the whole law is unconstitutional, and the CFPB is unconstitutional and null and void itself. It strikes the CFPB as a party from the suit (against various defendants, including the NFL), finding it simply has no authority to act at all, in any capacity.



In reaching the question of the constitutionality of Title
X of Dodd-Frank, which established the CFPB as an "independent
bureau" within the Federal Reserve System, 12 U.S.C. § 5491(a),
the Court acknowledges the en banc holding of the Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in PHH Corp. v.
CFPB, 881 F.3d 75 (D.C. Cir. 201, upholding the statute. Of
course, that decision is not binding on this Court.7

Respectfully, the Court disagrees with the holding of the en
banc court and instead adopts Sections I-IV of Judge Brett
Kavanaugh's dissent (joined in by Senior Circuit Judge A.
Raymond Randolph), where, based on considerations of history,
liberty, and presidential authority, Judge Kavanaugh concluded
that the CFPB "is unconstitutionally structured because it is an
independent agency that exercises substantial executive power
and is headed by a single Director." Id. at 198.

Also most respectfully, the Court disagrees with Section V
of Judge Kavanaugh’s opinion wherein he determined the remedy to
be to "invalidate and sever the for-cause removal provision and
hold that the Director of the CFPB may be supervised, directed,
and removed at will by the President." Id. at 200. Instead,
the Court adopts Section II of Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson's
dissent wherein she opined that "the presumption of severability
is rebutted here. A severability clause 'does not give the
court power to amend' a statute. Nor is it a license to cut out
the 'heart' of a statute. Because section 5491(c)(3) is at the
heart of Title X [Dodd Frank], I would strike Title X in its
entirety." Id. at 163-64 (citations omitted).

Let me digest the next bits: The CFPB argues that because Mick Mulvaney is now the director, but was appointed as a vacancy appointment and therefore can be fired by the President for any reason, that the CFPB is acting constitutionally if only for this brief bit of time, having a constitutional, fireable executive in charge.

The Court points out that Mulvaney can only serve until 2018, at which point the law calls for another unconstitutionally, not-fireable-except-for-cause director to be appointed, which therefore keeps the CFPB in violation of the Constitution.

The CFPB argues that Mulvaney, by currently being the head of the CFPB and not choosing to end this action (which was begun before he assumed the directorship), effectively "ratifies" the actions taken by his predecessor. The argument is that while the previous Director might have been unconstitutional, the current temporary one is, and his presence retroactively fixes the constitutional defects of the CFPB.

Nah, brah, says the Court again. A temporary and temporarily-fireable director does not fix the fundamental unconstitutionality of the Dodd-Frank law which created this unconstitutional agency.

Here, the constitutional issues presented by the structure
of the CFPB are not cured by the appointment of Mr. Mulvaney.
As Defendants point out, the relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank
Act that render the CFPB's structure unconstitutional
remain intact. (Ratification 4.)

Furthermore, Mr. Mulvaney cannot serve past June 22, 2018 (210 days after the vacancy arose), unless the President nominates a new Director, and then
only until the new Director is appointed. Thus, there will
likely be a new Director appointed in the coming months who will
be subject to the for-cause removal provision. Therefore, the
Ratification does not cure the constitutional deficiencies with
the CFPB's structure as the CFPB argues. Accordingly, the Court
rejects the Notice of Ratification (ECF No. 7 to the extent
the CFPB argues that the Ratification renders Defendants'
constitutional arguments moot.

Accordingly, the Court finds that the CFPB "lacks authority
to bring this enforcement action because its composition
violates the Constitution’s separation of powers," and thus the
CFPB's claims are dismissed. Fed. Election Comm’n v. NRA
Political Victory Fund, 6 F.3d 821, 822 (D.C. Cir. 1993).

d. Conclusion

For the foregoing reasons, Defendants' motion (ECF No. 39)
is DENIED. Because Plaintiff Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau is unconstitutionally structured and lacks authority to
bring claims under the CFPA, the Clerk of Court shall terminate
Plaintiff Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as a party to
this action.

Baller move, bruv.

Thanks you for taking on the regulatory behemoth that restricts and retards our economic growth affecting the incomes of millions of American Workers. You have done truly yeomens work in paring back the tentacles of over zealous regulation.

61 Yes! and very good that this judge threw out the "severability" doctrine - it has long been a trick of leftist judges, to find that when some congressional action is clearly unconstitutional, they figure out how to re-write a little bit of it on their own and make it just barely constitutional. That has always been total bullshit - if a bill is Bad, then it is Bad. Throw it out and tell Congress to try again. Congress needs to write the laws, not Judges. But leftist judges hate to hear that.

Actually Trump can direct OPM to defund the Agency based on this ruling. Not saying that is actually going to happen, but Trump has the ruling and that's all he needs to stop the cash flow.

Posted by: The Great White Scotsman at June 21, 2018 04:21 PM (+Dllb)


Actually ... like I said earlier ... I'll believe it when I see it.

Let's reconvene either ...

1 - When the CFPB is closed down
2 - Trump leaves office and the CFPB remains

Scots - you get fixated way too much on The Letter of the Law. The world doesn't work that way.

The Law is whatever Those With The Power say it is. This ruling is just another chip in the Political Game. How big a chip depends on the willingness of the guy holding the chip to use it.

Many years ago I was assigned to review charges from an investigation of a Community Corrections officer. A female inmate whom he was assigned to drive to work alleged that while doing so he put the moves on her then reached down and tore open his pants that were held closed only by velcro. I was thinking that sounded like bullshit but then they interviewed the guy and he admitted to velcro-ing his pants shuts. I think those were tactical pants.

She wears a lot of Dolce and Gabana - they love Melania and stood up to the Lefty bullies in the fashion industry who started a boycott on dressing her. They've also been un-PC and outspoken about things like same-sex couples adopting kids.

226 Friends, it was the will of the Great Spirit that we kindled the great council fire of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

It is sad that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York is chiefed by the double tongues.

No signed paper by Senior District Court Judge Loretta A. Preska can hold the truth known by the elders, that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is indeed constitutional.

To you I hand this belt of wampum, as a sign of the power passed down to the Ruling Class from the time when our forefathers owned this land and their seats extended from the rising to the setting sun.

Friends, the Great Spirit has made us all; but he has made a difference between his children the Ruling Class who are meant to be chiefs over his children the flyover trash.

Let us take our leave with our bureaucrats to beyond the Great River, to the home of the buffalo and the elk, where we shall be patient like the owl and clever like the crow, and await the victory of great War Chief Robert Mueller III over the flyover trash.

If I were the CFPB - I'd encourage a friendly group to file another suit to the Ninth Circuit. Something to justify the existence of the CFPB. Get a conflicting ruling, in a different circuit. That would accomplish the two things you always need for shit like this ...

1 - Confuse the issue in the minds of the public
2 - Extend the clock

You do those two things long enough, the public says "Fuck It, Move On", and you maintain the status quo.

Progs get this ... flop any legislative turd over the finish line, and it's not going away. Especially once you get to the Brick and Mortar stage.

I can imagine how that interview went. "Hey, guess what this girl said, she said you put velcro fasteners on your pants, that's crazy, right? nobody would ever do that, right?" "Umm, oh no, she's right, I put velcro on my pants." "Say what? Why would you do that, there had to be a good reason right?"" "Uhhh,,, I dunno. I thought it was cool."

I tried reading the LATimes (who has a new owner who is on a crusade against fake news) but I couldn't figure out which one of twenty some scripts was required to see the article. The dollar amount for Pruit's tactical pants is 2,700 dollars according to the LATimes headline. Don't know if that is just for Pruit's tactical pants or is the cost per head of all those in the agency who need tactical pants or the sum total of money spent by the agency on tactical pants.

Today my 6 year old got home from summer camp and asked, unprompted, "Dad, does Donald trump hate kids?"

How do I even begin to answer this question?


.....

What's sad is that, if this isn't just a make believe scenario (98.6% sure it is), this guy isn't even teaching his kid how to reason.

It's a pretty easy answer:

No, son, of course he doesn't. He has a few kids himself. I disagree with the President, but he doesn't hate kids son.


Jeez. I bet he has stood around at a cocktail party bemoaning the lack of proper discourse in our society, but can't even recognize he is personally ensuring future generations of societal breakdown.

You know who isn't far behind them? Melissa Francis from FBN and Outnumbered. Again today she started caterwauling about these poor children at the border and can you imagine what the conditions are where they are from that would drive their parents to send them on such a journey.


No Melissa, some cultures aren't the equivalent of ours. Some parents consider these kids to be 1. a mouth to feed, therefore a burden 2. a trade to advance oneself to anyone from a drug dealer to a coyote 3. a way to make money by selling them into the sex trade.


So stop with the boohooing hysterics every day at noon and educate yourself on what is the non travel channel truthful version of what tribes and cultures in some South American areas are really like.

Any judgements settled with CFPB are considered unlawful to this administration and payments will be returned, and all enforcement actions terminated. Staff will be offered other jobs in the Government or 30 days notice of loss of job. CFPB will cease all operations today as it has no enforcement authority and is unconstitutional as constructed.

Every entity fined and blackmailed by this crew should get their money back and the receipients (BLM, ACORN, Clinton Foundation, ValJar's pocket, etc) should pay it all back or have their bank account and retirement attached by the courts.

Donna, Melania Trump went to TX today to visit the centers that are caring for the kids brought over the border illegally. When she left DC, the press got a photo of her wearing a long green jacket as she boarded the plane with a message scrawled down it that said I don't really care, Do U? The press is having their usual conniption that it shows she doesn't care about the kids she was going to visit.

Because that makes perfect sense. Her spokesperson said it was a jacket by some designer called Zara, and it was just a jacket, stop overreacting . She had changed clothes on Air Force Flotus when she arrived in TX and the jacket wasn't with her.

***
Let me dispel doubt - this is a WIN for deplorables. This was an attempt by leftists under the retarded Dodd Frank legislation ( as I said at the time these two f*ckwads are RESPONSIBLE for the financial crisis, directly, - why the f*ck are we letting them write legislation to "solve" it) to create a new, accountable to no one, branch of government that could then shake down corporations to fund its group of SJW, leftists lawyers and uni-party internationalists gnomes. Think of Brussels, but here, telling the US what to do. It already had generated a lamprey group of "financial watchdog" SJWs who were using their positions on the advisory board to give themselves lavish offices, dinners, parties and 4 star hotel rooms in DC whenever they wanted to (you know, to protect the little guy from big bad corporate America I have to drop $1,000 on a steak dinner for me and my mistress at Capitol Grille! ).
F*ck these guys in particular. Trump should disband the CFPBbased on this order, send everyone home, sell this building at a profit, and really show everybody how it is done.

452 This is great news, but I am not going to get carried away. The case will probably make its way before the Supremes and Justice Roberts, the traitor, will probably uphold the law along with the four leftists on the court. Roberts, the author of the sophistry that passes for legal argument that upheld the so-called Affordable Care Act, will likely spin more sophistry to uphold more of Obama's legacy when the case arrives at the Supreme Court.

453 There's probably nobody who's happier about this ruling than Mick Mulvaney. Congration you done it, Mick!

He was exactly the right person for this job. Requesting a budget of zero dollars and answering questions in Congressional hearings with, "I don't have to answer that because you set this bureau up that way" really went a long way to highlight the unconstitutionality of the CFPB. Especially when he answered Senator Warpath's questions that way, seeing as how this unaccountable Office of the Chief Inquisitor was her baby in the first place.

Excellent choice, Mr. President!
