The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a conservative-led attack that could have undermined the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The justices ruled 7-2 that the way the agency is funded does not violate the Constitution, reversing a lower court. The CFPB was created after the 2008 financial crisis to regulate mortgages, car loans and other consumer finance.

      Gorsuch has a libertarian streak, which makes him deviate from some of the more authoritarian conservative positions. It unfortunately also means that he hates government oversight.
