Thursday round-up

At Reuters On the Case blog (via How Appealing), Alison Frankel writes that [o]n Tuesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau joined the Justice Department in a brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether the CFPBs structure is unconstitutional; she notes that the CFPB has never before argued that the statute creating the bureau is constitutionally flawed, and that its new posture “places the bureau under a cloud of doubt that will linger until the Supreme Court resolves the question. Additional commentary comes from Ian Millhiser at Vox and from Mark Joseph Stern at Slate.

Briefly:

• At CNBC, Tucker Higgins reports that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fired back on Wednesday against critics who say the liberal justice should have retired while President Barack Obama was in office.
• At Supreme Court Brief (subscription required), Tony Mauro reports that a House subcommittee on courts, intellectual property, and the Internet is gearing up for another hearing on a well-worn subject: the publics right of access to the federal courts, including the Supreme Court.
