The U.S. Supreme Court should reject a small Texas bank’s bid to challenge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s constitutionality because Justice Brett Kavanaugh would be sidelined from the case, the Trump administration said.

Texas Appellate Courts are Not Following the Rule of Law on Standing in Foreclosure Judgments. Banks Who Lack Standing are Being Allowed to Foreclose With the Courts Complicit in Deception and Fraud
These were all cases where the foreclosure was sought by a bank that was not the original lender. In the vast majority of foreclosure cases decided after 2008, the lender and the plaintiff/forecloser were different entities because the lender sold the loan.
