Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Robert from yahoo bd]

As I recall, the DOJ, in one of their briefs mentioned Collins as standing for the proposition that the MQD doesn't apply in many federal agency actions.

Still reading, but Collins is quoted in the Majority Opinion of Chief Justice Roberts: "The dissent
insists that “[s]tudent loans are in the Secretary’s wheel-
house.” Post, at 26 (opinion of KAGAN, J.). But in light of
the sweeping and unprecedented impact of the Secretary’s
loan forgiveness program, it would seem more accurate to
describe the program as being in the “wheelhouse” of the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. Rather
than dispute the extent of that impact, the dissent chooses
to mount a frontal assault on what it styles “the Court’s
made-up major questions doctrine.” Post, at 29–30. But its
attempt to relitigate West Virginia is misplaced. As we ex-
plained in that case, while the major questions “label” may
be relatively recent, it refers to “an identifiable body of law
that has developed over a series of significant cases” span-
ning decades. West Virginia, 597 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at
20). At any rate, “the issue now is not whether [West Vir-
ginia] is correct. The question is whether that case is dis-
tinguishable from this one. And it is not.” Collins v. Yellen,
594 U. S. ___, ___ (2021) (KAGAN, J., concurring in part and
concurring in judgment) (slip op., at 2)."
