3. Supposed to be June 30. But I think they extended until July 3rd.

5. They'll be working on a federal holiday then. Since July 4 falls on a Saturday, July 3 is a day off.

6. Hmmm. Good point. Now I wonder if they will work that day or will

they try to finish up Thursday.

Do you keep your iPad in one room and your computer in another so you can simulate running back and forth like you would at the Court?

9. Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

HatWasNeverBriefed Retweeted

Final opinion of the day: By a 5–4 vote, the conservatives rule that the CFPB's structure is unconstitutional—but sever the unlawful provision, allowing the agency to stand while permitting the president to fire its director for any reason. https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/19-7_n6io.pdf

Translation: If Biden wins in November, he can fire Trump's (terrible) CFPB director right after his inauguration rather than wait for her term to end in December 2023.

That's a pretty big upside for liberals.
