Chief Federal Claims Court Judge SWEENEY's Comments:

PREVIOUS ORAL Arguments Hearing w GOVT Goon Lawyers ...

Judge SWEENEY: So it’s not as though I encouraged or wanted
several years of discovery. It’s what the Government
said it required in order to respond to Plaintiffs. And
it seemed unfair to deny the Government’s motion and
thereby penalize the Plaintiffs in not getting the
documents.

Judge SWEENEY: I hate to say it, I’m not -- this
is going to sound so flip, and I don’t mean for it to,
but this is like the mob. And it’s not, of course, but,
I mean, you have all the money is being turned over to
the Treasury

Judge SWEENEY: And again -- and the other point,
I’m very concerned that Treasury approaches the board of
directors of the enterprises and says, you either agree to
the conservatorship or you’re out. That’s -- that sounds like
undue influence, if not a death grip.

Judge SWEENEY: That’s -- isn’t that part of the
litigation that’s ongoing now with -- to decide whether
or not that provision of HERA is constitutional ? I mean,
wasn’t the 30-day window problematic ? If someone puts a
death grip on you, yes, I’m sure you open the phone book
or you know someone -- some lawyers in Washington or
elsewhere, but it doesn’t give you a whole lot of time to
get into court.
