Supreme Court Upholds CFPB Funding Structure in 7-2 Decision on Thursday

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the funding structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in a 7-2 decision on Thursday, ruling that it complies with the Constitution's Appropriations Clause.

Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented.
