A federal judge in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday blocked a new Biden administration rule that would prohibit credit card companies from charging customers late fees higher than $8.

US District Judge Mark T. Pittman, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, granted a preliminary injunction to several business and banking organizations that allege the new rule violates several federal statutes.

These organizations, led by the right-leaning US Chamber of Commerce, sued the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after the rule was finalized in March. The rule, which was set to go into effect Tuesday, would save consumers about $10 billion per year by cutting fees from an average of $32, the CFPB estimated.

    Where fighting progressives yielded success for liberals? Sure. Liberals fought progressives on the minimum wage increase and were successful.

    Congratulations on the victory over working people.

      You’re dodging the question because it doesn’t help either group. You’ll understand when you grow up.

        It helped liberals. They got what they wanted. The minimum wage didn’t increase.

        You’ll understand when you grow up.

        Ooh, the second centrist thought-terminating cliche.
