Collins v. Mnuchin Consolidated Oral Argument
1 hour, 44 minutesThe Supreme Court heard oral argument in Collins v. Mnuchin, a consolidated case on whether the structure of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is unconstitutional. Congress, with the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, created the regulatory agency in response to the 2008 mortgage crisis. Under this law, the director, who is appointed by the president, serves a five-year term and cannot be removed by a president without cause. The agency oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, each created by Congress in 1938 and 1970, respectively. In the hope of preventing a housing market collapse, the FHFA placed Fannie and Freddie in conservatorship. They entered into agreement with the Treasury Department to be propped up financially. In 2012, there was a third amendment to the deal where Fannie and Freddie would pay the department dividends and fees based off a new calculation. Private shareholders filed suit arguing the entities overpaid more than $120 billion, should be credited this money
