PJ Tatler ^ | July 19, 2013 - 1:24 pm | Bryan Preston

Where’s the “thou shalt not offend Obama” clause in the Michigan state constitution? I’m unable to find it. …

Prior to her ruling on Friday, (Judge Rosemary Aquilina) criticized the Snyder administration and Attorney General’s Office for what appeared to be hasty action 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. …

Cheating...and not honoring the president. Where are these concepts in the state constitution? I guess being a Democrat means you can make up the law to suit your political interests.

You have to totally shitting me!
All of the Motown problems will cheat those who work? And now, after Zer0 gave away the major ownership of the auto companies to the unions, we taxpayers will again be required to pay Detroit their Robinhood underfunded pensions???

I don’t think so!

Sadly, this is not satire. But it should be.

Darn. I was betting on satire, too.

It’s impossible to tell when the nuts are running the asylum.

Corruption of the judiciary submitting to the executive is far down the path to tyranny.

I thought this was satire. Some of the comments on that story are frightening.

The one about the pensions being guaranteed by the state constitution was brilliant! Why didn’t we think of that?

I am going to ask for a ballot initiative to change my states constitution guaranteeing every citizen one million dollars! It will be law right?

This is easy! Maybe the democrats have it right and they can simply legislate money at the local and state level. I would also like to legislate jackolopes, unicorns, and the tooth fairy. My kids love the tooth fairy.

We are screwed......

Commandante Zero suspended operation of BR laws sua sponte by XO?

“Comrades! All over America this morning there were spontaneous, irrepressible demonstrations when ‘no limit niggas’ paraded from public housing and their parents’ basements and paraded through the streets with banners breaking s*** and voicing their gratitude to Big Bro’ for our new and happy lives due to his wise leadership.

Something tells me this judge has stepped outsider her jurisdiction with this “ruling”. It will be interesting to see how this “ruling” is followed.

After reading this a few times, I conclude-
1)The Judge was pressure to stop the Bankruptcy
2) Was told over and over how 0bama saved Detroit, and how 0bama was not pleased and would be watching
3) Judge got pi$$ed off and frustrated.
4) Inserted into her ruling the nonsense that came from 0bama’s lackeies

In the full glare of the sun, the Banana Republic trashes the law and marches on.

She is a county judge. She has no standing and no authority to stop a Bankruptcy proceeding. Bankruptcy is a Federal Court matter.
