Freddie Mac (FMCC)

[obiterdictum]

Chief Judge Karen K. Caldwell doubtlessly took a selective reading of specific HERA statutes as granting exclusive permissive powers to the FHFA and Treasury to act as they will without judicial oversight and review. The only exception to this nearly all-powerful ability to act at will is that FHFA and Treasury may not act beyond the scope of their statutory powers. Chief Judge Caldwell judged that such actions were not taken by the FHFA and Treasury. She deemed all actions taken by the FHFA and Treasury as being within the scope of their statutory powers while arguing that Plaintiff's five contentions to the contrary were meritless and the Plaintiff's supporting evidence was irrelevant and unavailing.

The blunt decision was based greatly on Lamberth and amounted to:

The US Government is right and the Plaintiff is wrong because I think it so. Next time make a better complaint.

The sided reasoning in this decision by Chief Judge Caldwell is not surprising.
