Legal experts and progressive advocates on Thursday applauded the U.S. Supreme Court's 7-2 decision to uphold the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's funding mechanism but also cautioned against praising the far-right justices. While Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented, fellow right-winger Clarence Thomas penned the opinion in CFPB v.
consumer campaign director Mike Litt suggested that 'all Americans should still breathe a sigh of relief now that the constitutionality of the CFPB's funding is a settled matter. The CFPB extending its nearly 13-year run of protecting consumers no longer hangs in the balance.''That said, we know those who oppose the CFPB and its work will keep attacking this crucial agency,' he added.
