Do you have a link to the decision, or an account of it?

They ruled against the PI; however, they also stayed the order lifting the PI until 7 days after a decision is rendered by the full DC Circuit Court. They may decline to hear the case and that would happen quickly. More likely they do hear the case so it buys the CFPB people a few more months.

So has Vought officially spent more money fighting this to the death than would be saved by closing it? This guy is like one of those psycho movie villains who won’t give up trying to down the good guy… and the audience is NOT cheering him on. 🤣

With all of the litigation, plus the severance that people get, I think some people will be getting paid for 18+ months of not working. Nice work Vought.

He doesn't care about the money, he is quite happy with the work not getting done. Firing people just furthers that goal because it makes it much more difficult to resume that work at a later date.

This, 100%. It should be obvious by now with all the other nonsense that has happened by Jan 20.

Who knows how long it'll take the full DC Circuit to rule on it if they do accept the case. It could take more than a year for briefing, writing and circulating opinions and dissents and then issuing them.

I don’t know. The full panel declined to hear the Voice of America en banc petition, and VoA essentially used legal arguments in their briefs very similar to what the cfpb union argued in theirs (separation of powers etc). Why would the full panel grant the petition in nteu vs vought and not for VoA employees?

As a cfpb employee, I think it is over.

I *think* the VOA decision was seeking a stay pending appeal and this decision was after full briefing on the merits.

If that’s right then I think there are some judges who would view en banc as more appropriate in this case than in VOA.

Are CFPB employees still collecting a paycheck on admin leave? Are they able to work a second job while the courts still consider the case?

CFPB employees are not currently on administrative leave. In fact, many/most are working on routine matters dependent on division/role.

So CFPB will survive overall just pared down to legislative obligations? That is better than I expected, I assumed it would be wiped completely out by this admin.

What do you mean by pared down to legislative obligations? What positions there aren't tied to legislative obligations? They all are.
