I read the order at SCOTUSblog and the denial of stay makes no determination of the underlying legal issues. The order itself makes specific mention of in a "close case" harm to parties is weighed against larger public interests. The court is not sanctioning the strategy here but it doesn't really do much to give the administration pause before they continue with more Chicago style tactics. Overall, I am really disappointed with this result.

North Korea plans to buy the now defunct Plymouth brand.
It wants the tooling and dies to build a 1957 Plymouth Savoy with push button transmission, for travel by the heads of state.

A Perfect Storm.

Nope, the perfect storm hits tomorrow with the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange. Watch the Dow lose at least 2000 points before trading is halted. The SCOTUS just declared Bonds worthless and financial contract law unenforceable.

Yeah NYT now has it too.

Well … looking at this … one can only conclude that the SCOTUS doesn’t have the sense of “urgency” concerning recent events as we do.

This is very bad news. With Obama firmly in control of the Executive Branch, Legislative Branch, News Media and most of the Judiciary – we really needed a SCOTUS that was willing to don the body armor and go to battle.

That is not going to happen now. Appears the Roberts’ court watch the show from the sidelines.

A Perfect Storm.

Let me walk that declaration back – I only found one source for the report and it was buried. This should be huge news if true and I just don’t see enough news outlets carrying it yet. Maybe their slow – then again – maybe the story is wrong.

It’s over – SCOTUS joins the Fascists.

Cowardice.

SCOTUS has just betrayed the people and constitution of the United States of America, THEY HAVE IN FACT RULED THAT THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

As I see it, this is not about the money, but the rule of law. If we can not count on the laws being followed and contracts being honored we are done as a Constitutional Republic.

I hope the Supreme Court has the guts to make Obama and his team get back into their proper role and out of the bankruptcy court’s business.

If Ginsburg can see what a mess we’re headed for through those liberal spectacles or hers—and decides to put a roadblock or two in the way of the Administration— then that’s really saying something.

That very comment is irresponsible and downright ignorant obviously you don’t know the facts! Everything isn’t about race.

And to hear that Ruth Bader-Ginsburg signed the order. Wonderful.

AnOldMan on June 9, 2009 at 12:40 PM

Put another way…. The Obama plan to sell off Chrysler to Fiat was so bad that it didn’t even pass muster with Ginsberg.

Actually, I suspect the deal is questionable because it puts
the interests of unsecured debtors ahead of those who secured debts. A ruling in favor of this deal would absolutely shake up the way the new President of Government Motors deals with its creditors.

Whatever, if you can’t see that Ginsburg obviously has a racist bent toward the President, then you are blind.

As for the Constitution, it needs to be flexible so as to account for the realities of modern civilization, not the outdated concepts of old white guys who lived 200 years ago.

That very comment is irresponsible and downright ignorant obviously you don’t know the facts! Everything isn’t about race.

The truth about this administrations’ “Car Czar” and the strongarm Chicago political tactics are going to come out. Mr. Lauria promised that he would expose it several weeks ago. 3 supreme court justices are about to get up in the Obama Administration and show them how the constitution does matter!

I never thought I’d live to see the day when conservatives would hail Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg for truly administering justice. Let’s not hold our breath for her to accidentally do it the next time.

Notice that EVERYTHING lately, from TARP to Porkulus, to now this (and next: Obamacare) is all rammed down our throats with the common theme of, “HURRY HURRY HURRY, DELAY WOULD MEAN DISASTER, NO TIME TO READ, PASS IT NOW!”?

The right decision as the government has no authority to meddle in private industry in such a way, and I hope this stay is the beginning of the end to Obama’s Cesear-like power grab of the private sector.

We can only hope so
