Date set for CFPB funding structure arguments before Supreme Court

Amidst the flurry of briefs filed by parties and friends of the court, the U.S. Supreme Court announced the date it will hear the oral arguments on the constitutionality of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s funding structure.

The question before the court has the potential to challenge everything the bureau has done since its creation and could impact other agencies that have similar funding structures so as to insulate them from political sway.
