Speaking of activist judges....

....read the last part of this article--some of the "legal reasoning" behind a state court judge issuing a temporary restraining order against Detroit filing for bankruptcy in federal court.

It’s also not honoring the (United States) president, who took (Detroit’s auto companies) out of bankruptcy.

She also ordered the plaintiffs to send a copy of her TRO to President Obama. No....REALLY.

Wowza.

Well when he rules like a king and his supporters worship him like a god, it's not surprising.

Wowza is right. A stunning ruling. The logic is twisted like a pretzel. This judge is a good example of an educated idiot. Detroit is a disaster. Drastic changes need to occur to turn around Detroit. We shall see. Meddling idiot judges need to butt out.

I seem to recall a debate in the not too distant past when one candidate said he would have allowed Detroit to reorganize through bankrupty and another candidate claimed to have saved Detroit from that fate by sinking billions of dollars into it. Hmm....

To be fair, neither candidate was talking about the actual city of Detroit.

Oops, my bad. I guess the memory isn't what it used to be. :blush:

No worries. The irony is still there. Especially given one of the Obama/Biden campaign slogans of Osama bin Laden is dead and Detroit is alive.
