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

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

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.

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.

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.

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. 🤣
