A couple of opinions today. Boring arbitration stuff. Boring MSPB appeal stuff on whether time limits for appeals form agency decisions are jurisdictional (other than the fact that the case involves a great story of a DoD guy who had time on his hands and kept at his case for five years and got to the court).
But the big enchilada today was that CFPB funding mechanism was upheld under the appropriations clause. Majority opinion by Thomas, who took a pretty straightforward textualist and minimalist approach to what the clause requires (here, basic specification of amount and purpose by Congress), with a fascinating constellation of the Chief, Soto, Kagan, Kav, Barrett, and Jackson joining him.
Now don't say he never did anything nice for you.
And in completely unrelated (hockey) news, I'm thrilled to see that one of my all time favorite Washington Capitals, Matt "The Paralyzer" Hendricks, has been named GM of the Iowa Wild:
