On December 9, 2020 the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Collins v. Mnuchin (consolidated with Mnuchin v. Collins). There were two questions before the court: (1) Whether the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s structure violates the separation of powers; and (2) whether the courts must set aside a final agency action that FHFA took when it was unconstitutionally structured and strike down the statutory provisions that make FHFA independent.
Elizabeth Slattery, Senior Legal Fellow at the Pacific Legal Foundation, joins us to discuss this case's oral arguments.
