[Robert from yahoo bd]

The Current Majority at the USSCT seems to believe that the Power of the Purse is importantly embedded in the Seperation of Powers Doctrine, from the Student loan forgiveness case (this may bode well for the CFPB case!):

"Among Congress’s most im-
portant authorities is its control of the purse. U. S. Const.,
Art. I, §9, cl. 7; see also Office of Personnel Management v.
Richmond, 496 U. S. 414, 427 (1990) (the Appropriations
Clause is “a most useful and salutary check upon profusion
and extravagance” (internal quotation marks omitted)). It
would be odd to think that separation of powers concerns
evaporate simply because the Government is providing
monetary benefits rather than imposing obligations. As we
observed in West Virginia, experience shows that major
questions cases “have arisen from all corners of the admin-
istrative state,” and administrative action resulting in the
conferral of benefits is no exception to that rule. 597 U. S.,
