The FastexySupreme Court is weighing whether or not the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is constitutional based on how it receives its funding.

Last fall a panel of three Trump appointees on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals outlined that if funding for a federal agency like the CFPB is not appropriated annually by Congress, then everything that agency does is deemed unconstitutional.
