The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a conservative-led attack that could have undermined the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The justices ruled 7-2 that the way the agency is funded does not violate the Constitution, reversing a lower court. The CFPB was created after the 2008 financial crisis to regulate mortgages, car loans and other consumer finance.

      He doesn’t.

      This is just his hall pass vote to make him appear less of an ideologue for later, when he proceeds to fuck the country over for Trump.

      Even a broken clock is right twice a day…

      With Clarence Thomas it’s once every few decades.
