Imustbenutz Posts: 283 Incept: 2010-11-04 Absurdistan, USSA	Kudos to Judge Blackmon! Carroll County Georgia - Home of the Real Linda Green. Local Atlanta news ran a story today stating that new foreclosure filings were again on the rise in Georgia. It would nice to see other Judges following the rule of LAW and throwing out as many tainted proceedings as they possibly can. Now if only the remaining 47 states AG's would remove the Bankster c*ks from their respective orifices long enough to read some of the rulings from these seemingly un-corrupted Judges perhaps they would start upholding the LAW and begin prosecuting the Banksters.

Spence Posts: 2551 Incept: 2009-09-11 Online	For the younger folks who have no idea what 'Alice's Restaurant' is, here's the song. It all started on Thanksgiving day and an encounter with the law. 2011-11-15 00:49:49 Permalink
Erbo Posts: 121 Incept: 2010-06-10 Denver, CO	"Sometimes, only the courts of law stand to protect the taxpayer. Somewhere, someone has to stand up." Sometimes, you get a judge or lawyer that is capable of bringing the clarity of a premium diamond to the issues at hand, and doing so with a flair for wit. This is one of those times. ---------- "There is a ready solution for anyone on the public payroll who feels that he is not paid enough: He can resign and work for a living. This applies with equal force to Congressmen, Welfare 'clients,' school teachers, generals, garbage collectors, and judges." - Ira Johnson 2011-11-15 01:20:16 Permalink

Gamma Posts: 5592 Incept: 2008-01-20 Northern CA	Is this a real document? It seems very..."non-courty" in terms of its language and plain spokenness. I mean, it doesn't cite prior case law (with all manner of gobbledygook abbreviations) and it kind of just says "enough is enough". Which we may all agree with, but I still think the language, the prose, is very colloquial, not "judicial". ---------- This stuff we're going through, this is nothing compared to the Middle Ages. They told me if I voted for John McCain, an idiot would be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Sure enough... Last modified: 2011-11-15 01:45:29 by gamma 2011-11-15 01:40:16 Permalink

Killersdad Posts: 1036 Incept: 2008-03-27 upstate NY	That was refreshing. I also liked the "non court" langauge that Gamma referred to. ---------- They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ...why don't we just give them ours?

Leicestersq Posts: 221 Incept: 2009-10-12 UK	Can someone enlighten me here? I think that the judge was saying that US bank had taken the HAMP money fraudulently, and wasnt passing it through to the mortgagee's. What did the person bringing the motion get out of this? Will they get compensation, the right to have their mortgage amended, or clear title on their property? Is he asking someone to prosecute US bank for taking money under false pretences? Great judgement, but it doesnt make it clear to me what has actually been done here other than to throw out a motion to dismiss? 2011-11-15 07:11:11 Permalink
Genesis Posts: 130799 Incept: 2007-06-26	Carroll County does not appear to have online records, unfortunately, but the case number is in the correct format and it appears that is a real Judge in that county; I found his (old) campaign page (Judges are elected in Georgia) ---------- I don't care* if it makes sense -- only if it makes money. -- Me* Bank (n): See scam, fraud and theft. *Eat a bankster -- they're low-carb.* *What part of "shall not be infringed" was unclear?* 2011-11-15 07:44:07 Permalink
Ponzi_unit Posts: 8121 Incept: 2007-09-05 Online	"but I still think the language, the prose, is very colloquial," The Judge points out that 'no administrative review is provided within HAMP, the courts are the only recourse.' That's all there is. The Judge has staked out his territory with a heavy foot, er mallet. He and other Judges own it. To keep the Judges out of this territory would require an act of Congress I'd wager. Courts move much slower than criminals unfortunately and most of them have already made a pretty good getaway. Paulson saw this coming of course, that's why he exempted himself from prosecution when he got these bailouts rolling. He had a pretty good idea that a good part of the money would end up in criminal pockets. ---------- Taxpayers witnessed a crime and stayed around long enough to get charged with it. 2011-11-15 07:54:14 Permalink
