"Pro-business conservatives and their Republican allies believe the court fight has brought them closer than ever to dismantling the CFPB.

"These cases all represent challenges that are part of a long-running, multifaceted conservative attack on the administrative state, and nothing less than the ability of the federal government to function effectively is at stake."
