Do you think we will see any Amicus briefs filed in the 5th Circuit Collins case? Didnt the House file one for the En Banc Collins case that went up to SCOTUS?
I am thinking that we could get some Amicus support and opposition regarding the FHFA Appropriations clause before SCOTUS rules on the CFPB case that will help our political support coming out of the SCOTUS CFPB decision in 2024.
Also - it would seem that the Bhatti appeal in the 8th Circuit will also move forward. The 5th and 8th Circuits should have opinions rendered in 2023 and possibly before SCOTUS hears the CFPB case.
The issues in dispute are 1) whether plaintiffs were damaged by the unconstitutional removal clause? 2) if yes, how much was the damage? 3) further on defendants ' 300 billion liquidation preference, should defendants sweep all 300 billions and keep the GSEs in perpetual conservatorship? Or let GSEs go IPO and have private funding?
