Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

Stockanalyze - great points - this could be first up to void the SPSA and NWS if it gets Cert as the remedy for the Constitutional violation of the Appointments clause. You may remember that the DOJ attorney said it would be ok if a POTUS strung together a series of Acting Directors with no Senate Confirmation. I can see how this lost 2-1 in the 6th Circuit. Judge Thapar was the dissent and he was on the short list to fill the RBG seat that Barrett took - I am hoping that Rop has the same outcome at Seila did when Kavanaugh was in the dissent. It will be interesting to see who provides an Amicus brief in favor of Cert - we will see soon since the UST Brief is due on Monday as noted in your SCOTUSblog link.
