The bankruptcy of the city of Detroit took another turn today as Justice Rosemarie Aquilina ruled the bankruptcy unconstitutional under Michigan law. It leaves everything up in the air, as some are not sure Justice Aquilina has the standing to rule on the case, and also because Gov. Gutless, Rick Snyder, may refuse to comply with the ruling.
After my rant from yesterday, I should note that there are those on the progressive side who believe a bankruptcy filing may be better than an unfettered and undemocratic emergency manager calling the shots, as the judge does not have the power to removed elected officials or tear up union contracts.
Time will tell, but as more details are released (Snyder has actually been preparing for the bankruptcy for some time, Snyder is doing is usual whining about unions, Snyder is promising his actions will be better for creating jobs, Kevyn Orr's former law firm is handling the bankruptcy for the city, Andy Dillon, the State Treasurer, who is a LieberDem is leading the charge) the doubts I voiced yesterday about Snyder's character (he's a fucking liar, typical dishonest businessman who'd cut his mother's heart out to make another nickel) and actions have only grown stronger.
One of my favorite Michigan politicians, Gretchen Whitmer(State Senate Minority Leader), today sent out an e-mail that said that all Michiganders should stick together and that we were all Detroiters, now. No, Sen. Whitmer, all Michiganders are not Detroiters, now--only we Liberals are, because we're the only ones who give a damn about the people who actually live there.
Ally with the whining Governor Gutless and his cronies at your own risk.
Peace,
