Fannie Mae (FNMA)

[Robert from yahoo bd]

There's a general consensus that the US Congress (i.e., Legislative Branch) is the most powerful, followed by the Executive, and then the Judicial.

Still, the USSCT is clearly the pinnacle of power in the Judicial Branch, with lifetime appointment, unremovable, can retire ANY time they want with full pay and benefits!

THERE'S NO WHERE ELSE TO APPEAL YOUR CASE TOO, AND THAT'S WHY THEY CAN PUT THE HAMMER DOWN AND GIVE US THE JUSTICE WE HAVE BEEN SEEKING FOR 8 YRS!

Remember, technically some of the Federal Court Judges hearing the cases on the Net Worth Swipe, probably realized (consciously or unconsciosly) that ruling in the Plaintiff's favor (shareholders) and ordering Uncle Sug to fork over $308B to the shareholders, could find themselves in this unfavorable future situation when they, say are being considered for a Judgeship above their current one at a House or Senate Confirmation Hearing:

POCAHONTAS (in her bitchiest high pitched whineast voice): "Isn't it true Judge X, THAT YOU RULED IN FAVOR OF THOSE GREEDY HEDGE FUND GUYS AND EVIL BANKSTERS AND FORCED THE GOVERNMENT TO GIVE BACK $XXX BILLIONS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO FEED WIDOWS AND ORPHANS!"

Here, the USSCT members don't have that problem!
