Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Robert from yahoo bd]

"Federal Appeals Courts in the United States sometimes grant rehearing en banc, to reconsider the decision of a panel of the court (consisting of only three judges) in which the case concerns a matter of exceptional public importance or the panel's decision appears to conflict with a prior decision of the court."

EnBanc (i.e., ALL THE JUDGES REHEAR AND DECIDE THE CASE) happened in Collins in the 5th Circuit, but is not automatically done and can ONLY get done when a certain number of Judges approve it.

The last stop is the SCOTUS which is totally discretionary.

So the 3 Judge panel on August 4th may or may not be the final decision makers on the issues presented...
