Judge deciding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau dispute was appointed by Trump

5. I prefer to think that a federal judge will fairly apply the law

until the opposite is proven by experience.

I haven't studied the issue but from what Sen. Warren said on Rachel, it doesn't sound close. Dodd-Frank specifies that the deputy director becomes the acting director. Trump is relying upon the Vacancies Act which (1) predates Dodd-Frank and is therefore superseded if the two acts are inconsistent and (2) the Vacancies Act allows for later laws (like Dodd-Frank) to specify a result other than that called for in the Vacancies Act. (There may be a good argument that the Vacancy Act is unconstitutional. See, Duke Law Journal. 50: 1511–1539.)

All of that to say, if the Judge rules for Trump, I'll have to do the research.
