Judge again rules for Trump administration in fight for control of CFPB
Source: Washington Post
A federal judge on Wednesday sided with the Trump administration for a second time in a fight for control of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, denying a request by a high-ranking agency employee that she be put in charge instead of the White House’s pick.
U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly on Wednesday turned down Leandra English’s request for a temporary restraining order that would prevent White House budget director Mick Mulvaney from serving as the CFPB’s acting director. “English has not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits or shown that she will suffer irreparable injury absent injunctive relief,” Kelly said in the 46-page ruling.

English’s attorneys have argued that the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, which established the CFPB after the financial crisis, laid out a specific plan of succession authorizing the deputy director to take over until a White House nominee is confirmed by the Senate. Also, they said, Mulvaney cannot wear two hats by simultaneously leading the independent financial regulator while serving as director the Office of Management and Budget.
“We are disappointed in today’s decision,” Deepak Gupta, English’s attorney, said in a statement. ”The law is clear: President Trump may not circumvent the Senate confirmation process by installing his White House budget director to run the CFPB part time. Mr. Mulvaney’s appointment undermines the Bureau’s independence and threatens its mission to protect American consumers.”

while this fascist was leading the charge on the tax scam, to basically screw everyone making less than $75,000 a year, so that congress can go after social programs with "his" CBO score, this asshole, is now been given the green light to complete the total screwing....................................
We now have judge(s), sitting on the bench that apparently cannot read a law that says there is an order of succession:
“We are disappointed in today’s decision,” Deepak Gupta, English’s attorney, said in a statement. ”The law is clear: President Trump may not circumvent the Senate confirmation process by installing his White House budget director to run the CFPB part time. Mr. Mulvaney’s appointment undermines the Bureau’s independence and threatens its mission to protect American consumers.”
November 2018 cannot get here fast enough
