What are you going to say? Nothin', that's what. What is there to say?

This is just the socialists attempting to avoid the natural consequences of the monstrosity they have birthed and called "the New America."

[molson209]

Are Judges drug tested ?

[ConservativeMan55]

This some sort of satire?

[Perdogg]

no.

[Rikki Doxx]

Is she that county judge that tried to cancel the bankruptcy?

[Zhang Fei]

If Rachel Jenteal ever gets her act together, she can grow up to become just like this judge.

[sitetest]

I think this whore of Satan is going to get slapped down by real judges a level or two above her paygrade.

It is not possible to dishonor that which has no honor, never had any honor, and will never have any honor.

[fwdude]

Real judges? They are all but extinct.

[cripplecreek]

I'm not sure the judge has standing. She's an Ingam county judge, not a Wayne county judge. I do think its funny that she's telling Obama on us.



Michigan legislative action thread

[ConservativeMan55]

I really thought this was satire lol!

[House Atreides]

Aquilina said she would make sure President Obama got a copy of her order.

“I know he’s watching this,” she said, predicting the president ultimately will have to take action to make sure existing pension commitments are honored.
*******************************************************************
If this posting was not satire, then this addlebrained judge is one of the more “it’s all about me” judges I’ve read about.

[nascarnation]

Just have Bernanke and Lew create a few billion extra electronic Baraqqi minibucks and send them to Motown.

Everybody will be happy.

Do it “for the children” of Detroit.....

[aomagrat]

Democrats are a curse on this nation.

[digger48]

With rumors it was eminent Thursday afternoon, attorneys representing the pension boards hurried into Aquilina’s court in Lansing to ask for a temporary restraining order.

But Snyder and Orr beat them by a few minutes. Aquilina,
informed by phone, allowed the pension board lawyers to revise their restraining order request, then granted it.

Prior to her ruling on Friday, the judge criticized the Snyder administration and Attorney General’s Office over its hasty move to outflank pension board attorneys.

“It’s cheating, sir, and it’s cheating good people who work,” the judge told assistant Attorney General Brian Devlin. “It’s also not honoring the (United States) president, who took (Detroit’s auto companies) out of bankruptcy.”

Aquilina said she would make sure President Obama got a copy of her order.

What?

[Lurking Libertarian]

Is she that county judge that tried to cancel the bankruptcy?

Yes. She is saying that the Michigan State Constitution bars Detroit from filing bankruptcy. I predict that the federal bankruptcy court will tell her to pound sand, because state laws cannot trump federal laws, and the federal bankruptcy code permits municipal bankruptcies. (Actually, federal law puts a number of conditions on municipal bankruptcies, and there is a possibility that Detroit's filing won't qualify, but if so, it will be because Detroit didn't satisfy the requirements of federal law, not because of the Michigan Constitution.)

[deport]

(Reuters) - Detroit’s historic municipal bankruptcy filing on Thursday came less than 10 minutes before lawyers for the city’s pension funds and retirees had rushed to another court to try to block it.

The bare bones bankruptcy petition, which came at 4:06:22 p.m., blindsided everyone in the room, according to two lawyers who were in state court in Lansing, Michigan, at the time. Even the lawyer representing the governor and the judge were caught unaware.

LOL I'm gonna tell.

Ingham County judge rules Detroit bankruptcy be withdrawn; Schuette appeals

[ConservativeMan55]

Wow.

[LostInBayport]

A photo of the dishonorable judge, who is a disgrace to the judiciary in that she cannot keep her personal political views apart from the facts in the case before her.

Is it any wonder Detroit is the disaster it is?

[bigheadfred]

No one with their act together would be like this judge.

[Bobalu]

The whole country is bankrupt!

Detroit is even more bankrupt than the rest.

It’s like we are living in an old SNL skit here....a goofy judge ordering a city not to be bankrupt...lol. Why doesn’t she just order the national debt away too while she’s at it.. :-)

[newfreep]

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

She is so right! This dishonors The Dear Leader! The people are heartbroken that The Dear Leader has been dishonored!!

WE MUST TRY HARDER TO PLEASE DEAR LEADER!

[Hardraade]

Repeal Gravity.

Then throw Obama off the Empire State building.

[MestaMachine]

Come on! You’re funnin’ us, right?

[GoldenPup]

Judge Rules That Detroit's Bankruptcy Is Unconstitutional...

Piss-ant hack off her prozak.

[newfreep]

She’s got that stupid deer-in-headlight look going for her...

[newnhdad]

I woke up in Crazyville.

[cripplecreek]

Detroit is even more bankrupt than the rest.

Unfortunately no. NY city alone has more than $100 billion in debt. Detroit is but a tiny canary in a very large coal mine.

[SeaHawkFan]

Even if the unions got an injunction, BK laws are federal and any injunction would have been voided upon the mere filing of a petition to the BK court.

[caww]

Once again she is crediting Obma for bailing out the car companies when it was the US Citizen who paid out the butt for that!

So is she going to send her decision to us and let us decide?

[rockinqsranch]

A ditz in robes? Her name should be Georgette.

[Ray76]

Where’s the Michigan Bar? This person can’t be a judge. This is ridiculous.

[nathanbedford]

So much for a government of laws, not men.

By the way is a matter of curiosity, who pays his judge's salary and who would pay her pension?

[Ghost of SVR4]

And when employee's stop getting paid and stop showing up for work, is she going to order them back?

I truly hope a higher court with a little more in the integrity department slaps this dingbat without mercy.

[Secret Agent Man]

I contest she could stay exactly like she is now and grow up to be this judge.

[fhayek]

Liberalism means never having to be rational.

[BigEdLB]

It is not possible to dishonor that which has no honor, never had any honor, and will never have any honor.

This about expresses my feeling on this matter, too.

[kjam22]

Maybe this judge had all of her money in Detroit municipal bonds?

[cripplecreek]

Send this one to the state supreme court and we’ll see some real judges in action.

[Hardraade]

Michigan Bar serves mainly moonshine, I think.

[The Working Man]

And here I thought that we were a nation of laws. How silly of me, of course Judges are above the law.

[digger48]

Bought and paid for by the unions

[Zhang Fei]

No one with their act together would be like this judge.

I think racial quotas have caused a situation where people are filling positions for which they are clearly unqualified. Nepotism has traditionally been one source, but racial quotas have simply overwhelmed nepotism in terms of sheer numbers. Even with nepotism, the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree, whereas racial quotas have people from the favored ethnic groups dropping the ball all over the place.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Disgusting.

[PapaNew]

Dang, I forgot that clause in the Constitution saying you were strictly liable for anything that dishonors Obama.

[cripplecreek]

The state supreme court leans heavily conservative. (since one of the liberal justices went to prison for fraud)
