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."

Traditionalist Catholicism and hard right BS need to be checked.

If Clarence Thomas of all people thinks the 5th Circuit is going too far how bad is all the shit we haven't seen?

Still, a small relief that SCOTUS isn't taking *every* opportunity to dismantle the administrative state

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

As always though it is instructive to read the dissents. There were 2 votes against.
