Justices will begin March by hearing arguments over the legality of CFPB, a challenge to abortion
(Worthy News) – The justices will kick off the month of March by hearing arguments over the legality of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and a new challenge to abortion rights.
A case scheduled for Tuesday will test the separation of powers and whether the CFPB, which was created during the Obama administration and is the brainchild of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, runs afoul of the Constitution because its director is largely shielded from being fired by the president.
The justices this week also will grapple with a Louisiana law that adds restrictions on abortion providers.
The state law being debated requires doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital no farther than 30 miles from the women’s clinic. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
