Have not read or heard that.
Substance?
When the entry of judgment “for cause” removal protection of the FHFA Director found in 12 U.S.C. § 4512(b)(2) is recorded as unconstitutional, that statutory provision is no longer valid and is no longer law, if left unchallenged. Thus, Calabria, ostensibly, can be subject to firing by the President at will in an interim period between a possible appeal and decision.
However, there is nothing final in this ruling. The ruling can be appealed and heard in the US Supreme Court where the ruling can be affirmed or reversed and a binding precedent made.
Case in point: The reversal of the constitutionality of a similar statutory provision in PHH Corp. et al. vs Consumer Financial Protection Board. Removal "for cause" was declared unconstitutional by United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Panel and then reversed in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit en banc decision.
