It was an especially bad day for former Trump Solicitor General Noel Francisco at Scotus

Francisco is representing a group of payday loan companies subjected to CFPB regulation and challenging its existence, who argued the agency's structure is illegal and must be struck down.

And he couldn't answer it.

Wouldn't surprise me if Gorsuch shares Alito's position
