A federal appeals court on Friday lifted an injunction from crooked Obama Judge Amy Berman Jackson that had blocked the Trump Administration from dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 ruling allowed the Trump Administration to move forward and dismantle the CFPB.
The three-judge panel included: Majority: Katsas (Trump), Rao (Trump), and dissent: Pillard (Obama).
Politico reported:
A federal appeals court panel has cleared the way for the Trump administration to largely dismantle the work of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, lifting a lower-court judge’s injunction that had preserved the agency’s structure — and barred mass layoffs — for months.
The 2-1 ruling, authored by Judge Gregory Katsas, said a series of legal defects in the lawsuit brought by CFPB employees and the NAACP doomed the case and required the district court judge’s blockade to be lifted.
Katsas, a Trump appointee, said the fatal flaw was the broad challenge against what the employees described as a master plan to shutter the agency altogether. While individual layoffs or contract terminations may be challenged in court, Katsas wrote that the sweeping directive to close the agency — alleged in the lawsuit — was not something the courts could review, particularly because it was unclear that the administration had made a final decision to carry out the closure.
Earlier this year, President Trump began cleaning house after he fired Rohit Chopra, the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Rohit Chopra was a toxic Biden holdover who previously threatened banks that refused to give credit lines and loans to illegal aliens.
Obama-appointed Judge Amy Berman Jackson previously barred the Trump Administration from firing CFPB workers without cause.
“Defendants shall not terminate any CFPB employee, except for cause related to the individual employee’s performance or conduct; and defendants shall not issue any notice of reduction-in-force to any CFPB employee,” Judge Jackson previously wrote.
Judge Jackson’s order came on the same day that the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled President Trump can fire members of the executive branch in a separate case related to Labor and Merit board members.
The Trump DOJ appealed Judge Jackson’s order earlier this year, and the court finally delivered Trump a win on Friday.
Trump just keeps winning
They always name laws the opposite of what they actually do.
Princess Stinky Beaver Warren heap big mad now
Step by step, inch by inch.
Who knows what evil lurks in the Deep State?
President Trump knows.
As a general rule, the more altruistic sounding the agency name, the worse it is.
You’re right - and they also name their organizations the same way - the opposite of what they are.
HOORAY DC Court & President Trump! Elizabeth, the fake Indian (feather not dot), Warren will be sad. DISMANTLE more FEDGOV agencies.
I was disappointed when Trump “lost” in 2020 as my son was headed for a White House position, BUT the four years has given Trump and his circle to regroup & create a strategy that I can’t imagine he would or could accomplish with his 2016 team.
Now get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US please.
2/3 of Senate required to impeach federal judge. We don’t have the votes.
No Federal judge has ever been impeached because of how they ruled
Only a handful in 235 years, for Bribery and Drunkenness
Another Obama/Biden circuit court leftist political activist errr.... “judge” slapped down.
Impeached over a ruling no, but district court dissolved yes!

Maybe they’re too well protected, but if the protections are reduced the Democrats will dump conservative judges. Only answer i can think of is keep Republicans in what house long enough for natural death and retirement to shift the balance to conservatives.
Democrats could not beat him at the Polls.
Now they are trying to beat him with Judicial Lawfare.
Maybe Rohit Chopra and his big supporter Fauxcahontas Warren will be so despondent they will end it all. We should be so lucky.
