Justices Hear Case on Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
1 hour, 33 minutesThe Supreme Court heard oral argument in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) v. Community Financial Services Association of America, a case that could determine the fate of the federal agency. The justices will be deciding whether the CFPB's funding structure is unconstitutional. This case stemmed from the agency's Payday Lending Rule. Two associations filed suit citing the rule is invalid because the agency's funding violates the Appropriations Clause. The CFPB gets its money from the Federal Reserve, not Congress. The Federal Reserve receives its funding from Federal Reserve Banks. The CFPB was created in 2010 under the Dodd-Frank Act which was in response to the 2008 financial crisis. When this case came before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, they ruled against the CFPB. The federal government appealed to the nation's highest court. The justices have through June 2024 to issue a ruling.

FAA Admin. Nominee Michael Whitaker Testifies at Confirmation Hearing
2 hours, 25 minutesMichael Whitaker, President Biden's nominee to be administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, testified at a confirmation hearing before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. Senators' questions focused on safety as well as workforce shortages and training. Also, Mr. Whitaker discussed the importance of the FAA preparing for the future, saying, "When I was at the FAA just a few years ago, drones were new, commercial space launches were rare, and flying taxis were still only in cartoons. All of this has changed." He previously served as FAA deputy administrator in the Obama administration from 2013-16. His nomination was supported by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair Sam Graves (R-MO), who spoke as a witness at the hearing. President Biden's previous nominee for the position, Phil Washington, withdrew himself from consideration in March 2023 after Senate Republicans expressed concerns about his level of experience.
