I guess too many homes in the IOP are up for foreclosures! Politics at its best!

agreed with Harwood….this is a TRO that lasts until next week, not next year, not next decade…one 1.5 weeks essentially….that’s how a TRO works, to allow the parties to present the merits if need be, but not allowing them to act in the process…stick to blogging and not practicing law without a license FITS.

This is so funny..(and sad)..I just saw that the gov.is giving low intrest home loans to people with 3% down…Here we go again.We havent even purged the first wave and they are doing it again..Wake up people!!
The market isnt even close to the bottom and we are putting people who cant afford a home in one again.We will have no choice but to default on the national debt…Maybe then people with a brain will take charge

Fits-
Not a word in your piece about the fact that the injunction only lasts until May 15. You intentionally left that out in order to rouse the rabble.
This site used to provide a much better service to its readers. In my opinion things started going downhill with the appearrance of Mande.

What about all the “government” intervention in the market that allowed the Federal Reserve to artificially keep interest rates so low that then allowed Fannie Mae, et al to literally create trillions of dollars out of thin air to “purchase” the newly built homes from the developers to only re-sell them at a higher price to unsuspecting “sub-prime” borrowers?

This is a good thing. The banks are thieves, and the entire financial system is a scam. Read up on Fractional Reserve Banking, and about how only the principal (and not the interest to service debt) is created thus creating a cycle of infinite perpetual borrowing. The financial system has to continually borrow more and more principal to pay the interest from previous debts. Read up on how banks create money and you’ll see just how far the rabbit hole really goes.

America is so fooled by the banksters it’s not even funny.

“Toal’s ruling – issued today without so much as a hearing on the merits of the motion before her -”

This is how temporary injunctions work. You = not a lawyer. While this sentence in your piece is technically accurate, given its context, including your use of the terms “unilaterally” and “liberal judges,” I think you are being woefully dishonest in your characterization.

well, well, well … the Toal comment crew is out in force this AM.

our question is this: what about the 60% of people who are still getting foreclosed on?

is toal standing up for them?

don’t get us wrong, we’re not advocating additional government intervention, we’re just saying your effusive praise of Her Majesty’s selective benevolence is lacking context.

As much garbage as this blog throws her way, the Chief does stand up for the people of her state.

Ah, Queen Jean actually did something nice for her subjects having a difficult time in this economy. At least we’re finally first at something, not bringing up the rear as usual…
