The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday in a case that could determine the future of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Noel Francisco, who argued on behalf of the trade associations challenging the CFPB's funding structure, faced tough questioning from the justices.

The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling on the case in the coming months.
