My mistake...it was not unanimous, but 6-3 like most decisions lately. However I will add comments by congress are just pushing my point further. "They are expanding their role into acting as though they are Congress itself and that, I believe, is an expansion of power that we really must be focusing on," Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, said. SCOTUS is not expanding their role...they are restricting executive powers and making congress do their job.

> SCOTUS is not expanding their role...they are restricting executive powers and making congress do their job False. Congress delegated their powers to parts of the executive branch. If they feel the executive is abusing that delegation, congress can take it away at any time. It is not the job of the SCOTUS to pretend they're congress and take action on behalf of congress as they have been doing lately. All of this is blatantly partisan. Congress created the CFPB for example, delegated some authority to the executive branch and insulated the CFPB head from presidential authority (so they could not be fired at will). The Supreme Court decided to insert their own opinion that the president has absolute authority over it, despite congress being the one creating it.

  In this case they are reviewing the funding mechanism of the CFPB and because it has no funding reviewed by congress that it might be part of the executive branch oversight and therefore the CFPB head is able to be fired by the president. All they do is review lower court decisions, which in this case have already ruled that the president has authority...so if they did nothing it would be exactly as you don't think it should be. Again SCOTUS doesn't just decided at will what to review...again like AOC thinks they should have vacated legacy admissions...as if they could just decide to do that. Despite congress being full of lawyers, they often miss critical things when they come up with ideas like the CFPB.
