Fannie Mae (FNMA)

Wow

This is not good news

Thinking of most of the logical possibilities, perhaps it is not good news or perhaps it is good news or perhaps it is both good and not good news or perhaps it is neither good news nor not good news. Since no outcome has occurred, how is one to know for certain which possibility is more probable than another?

What will happen to the cases she has in court concerning the GSEs if this goes past 12/14/20?

The case will continue towards adjudication whether or not Judge Sweeney is reappointed by the winner of the 2020 election or replaced by a new Chief Judge designated by the winner of the 2020 election or continues on as a Senior Judge in retirement.

New judge who has to review everything all over again?

Sweeney knows these cases.

Yes. A newly designated Chief Judge who may replace Chief Judge Sweeney or a currently sitting Judge may have to review everything from the beginning if there is an order reassigning the case under Rule 40.1 - Assigning and Transferring Cases - https://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/CFC%20Rules%2007.10.2019_1.pdf

What will happen cannot be precisely known with certainty at this moment.
