Temporary restraining order to stop Trump's pick for CFPB is denied

[FOXNEWS] In a victory for the Trump White House, a temporary restraining order to halt the president's pick for acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Mick Mulvaney, was denied by a judge late Tuesday though the decision is likely to be appealed.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled in favor of Trump in his effort to appoint White House budget director Mulvaney to lead the bureau, the nation's top financial watchdog agency.

"Denying the president’s authority to appoint Mr. Mulvaney raises significant constitutional questions," Kelly, a Trump nominee for the bench, said.

The ruling comes after a nasty partisan spat that pitted the Trump administration against an Obama-era holdover.

Leandra English was elevated to acting deputy director Friday when Richard Cordray resigned. The fight for control bled into the weekend and on Sunday, English filed an emergency restraining order to keep Mulvaney out.

#1 Diana Ross to the courtesy phone......

The Supremes need to stop this crap and put the Dem/Deep State in their place, and that's NOT in control of everything.

#2 The Supremes need to stop this crap

You missed the /sarc on that. The judiciary protects its own.

The only thing that will put the judiciary back into its proper alignment of constitutional government is to impeach about a dozen judges. See - Sun Tzu and the concubines. That is known as 'checks and balances'.

#5 What this needs is a terse dismissal with Prejudice informing the Plaintiff that being a Stand-In is different from being a Replacement. These cute legal maneuvers are a rot in the Public's willingness to comply with the Rule of Law -- like a dental cavity that eventually kills the tooth.

#6 Faucahontas is claiming Congress should have a say in who gets appointed. Her problem is that's not in the language of the law. San Fran Nan introduced English as the rightful head of the probably unconstitutional CFPB. Whatta Maroon.

#7 They have set up an unaccountable surveillance behemoth that can target political enemies and blackmail the sheeple into compliance. CFPB is an unconstitutional abomination of Warren's creation and the people should demand accountability. What is justice for those who abuse usurped power over an agency most people have never heard of, with NSA surveillance power and access to personal financial info via the central banks? Nooses are too good.

#8 Im wondering what are Cordray and English trying to hide within CFPB? Why so desperate?

What will Mulvaney find? Why did Cordray 'retire' suddenly when he still had eight months left on his term? Did he collect enough illegitimate money and decided he had enough to retire on after spending time hiding the money?
