A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) method of funding is unconstitutional under the premise that it bypasses Congress, directly pulling funding from the Federal Reserve.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court ruled that the CFPB lacks significant methods of accountability and violates the Constitution’s separation of powers, arguing that Congress unconstitutionally ceded its power of the purse to the Bureau in 2011, according to the court ruling. The CFPB was formed as a result of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and was the brainchild of Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who helped establish the bureau.

Who is in charge of your children? That has been a perennial question that has grown in importance over the last few years. When I was a child, it was understood that, with rare exceptions, parents were in charge of a child’s upbringing. This included medical, religious, and educational decisions. However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts. What happens when the goal of the experts differs from those of the parents? Who decides the future of the rising generations? It was understood that the state acted in loco parentis, in place of the parents, only for the safety of the child. A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that be it health departments, child services, schools, or even the courts. Government not only believes they know better than the parents, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.

With the release of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) applications, there has been a lot of speculation and downright assertions about our future. With over 30 years of experience in Information Technology (IT), not more than a passing understanding of AIs, I've come to the conclusion that much of what I've heard is more science fiction than fact. A recent court case decided in the D.C. District Court revolved around one very important question. Do AIs have rights?
In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that is what our Founding Fathers thought of it. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What are the extent of their powers, how do they related to the other two branches of government, and why is a proper understanding of the role of the judiciary critical if the United States is to remain a constitutional republic?

We’ve all heard of the D.C. swamp, but did you know there’s a legal swamp as well? Call it the deep state, swamp, or just precedent, the entrenched bureaucracy of our so-called justice system is just as bad as the political swamp Trump ran against. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

We all know we have to pay for government. We’re reminded every April 15th of that fact. Some of you may even remember Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 and Congress' authority to lay and collect taxes. But is anyone paying attention to the actual cost of government? And just who is responsible for making sure those costs are reasonable? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

As the end of the current Supreme Court term approaches, we’ve seen a few important decisions published. Expect more during the month of June. Add to that the latest antisemitic attack in D.C., and it seems obvious that we are living in interesting times. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
