That said, no one should interpret today's CFPB decision as proof that the Supreme Court is "moderating" or "compromising" or "shifting to the center." Not at all.
The decision is evidence of how totally lawless the 5th Circuit has become—because this case shouldn't even exist!
is a fair interpretation of how this will actually play out "Yeah the CFPB can exist and be funded this way, but we aren't going to actually let them do anything so don't worry corporate homies, just bring cases against things they try to do."
Important point to make there. The 5th Circuit is completely out of control. Dobbs shouldn't have made it to SCOTUS either -- the 5th Cir had to ignore Whole Woman's Health (2016) to get it there
