A temporary restraining order to halt President Trump's pick for acting director of the CFPB, Mick Mulvaney, has been denied by a judge.

Apparently the Judge understands the difference between an absence and a vacancy.

Fire her ass.
Doubt it had anything to do with "the difference between an absence and a vacancy" (because there isn't much difference)
“Denying the president’s authority to appoint Mr. Mulvaney raises significant constitutional questions,” Kelly, a Trump nominee for the bench, said.
As I'd predicted earlier, no court is likely to tell the President that he cannot appoint an Acting Director.
President Trump a showman for sure, staged a meeting in which he tricked Schumer and polsi, when they baby toe sucked and did not attend. THE President went on with the meeting leaving thier seats empty and thier name plates on the table.
Classic Trump. Winning.
Matt Lauer fired, LOL!
Just can't make it up.
The CFPB’s concentration of enormous executive power in a single, unaccountable, unchecked Director not only departs from settled historical practice, but also poses a far greater risk of arbitrary decisionmaking and abuse of power, and a far greater threat to individual liberty, than does a multi-member independent agency.
[...]
In short, when measured in terms of unilateral power, the Director of the CFPB is the single most powerful official in the entire U.S. Government, other than the President. Indeed, within his jurisdiction, the Director of the CFPB can be considered even more powerful than the President. It is the Director’s view of consumer protection law that prevails over all others. In essence, the Director is the President of Consumer Finance.

This Liberal meltdown is epic,,, wait, they are the MORAL HIGH GROUND, fucking funny shit
so... another preening, sanctimonious liberal asshat get's fired.
huh.
this is becoming as common as the sun rising in the east.
The salient part (for our purposes here) of that Appeals decision in PHH vs CFPB is:
"we remedy the constitutional violation here by severing the for-cause removal provision from the statute. As a result, the CFPB now will operate as an executive agency. The President of the United States now has the power to supervise and direct the Director of the CFPB, and may remove the Director at will at any time."
... which is a wordier way to say what I wrote above, and in the previous blog discussion.
