The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is in place to guard against seizure of property. By Executive branch fiat, the Obama Administration is disregarding the U.S. Constitution and the precedence of bankruptcy law in dictating that 'non-secured' creditors such as the UAW is to receive greater compensation than the 'secured' bond holders.
Eric Holder, Attorney General, should know the law. He should have stepped in; and told the president, that what they are doing, how they are doing it, is wrong -- illegal, unconstitutional.
Perhaps, Mr. Holder did; but was told to butt out, go-away. If that is the case, he should have - resigned. If he did do the former, he can still do the latter. There is still time.
In the meantime, the scene changes to the court of last resort.
If the U.S. Supreme Court folds on this -- by either not taking the case, thus effectively looking the other way; or, ruling to uphold the N.Y. Federal Appeals Court -- then the U.S. Constitution will have taken a direct hit of epic proportions. If what is underway is permitted by the Supremes, expect the U.S. Constitution to be 'renovated' further.
Let's hope the nine justices put on political blindfolds and send an unequivocal decision to support the U. S. Constitution and the rule of law.
