No. 1,409

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court ruling that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was unconstitutional because it had been created with a single director who could not be replaced by the President, except for cause.  There will almost certainly be a Petition for Review filed with the Supreme Court.  The Court could let the decision stand, which would leave the door open for other circuits to weigh in.  Here’s a basic and readable explanation of the case.
