Freddie Mac-No Politics (FMCC)

[Robert from yahoo bd]

I think each of the 3 cases you mentioned are mutually exclusive. In Collins the federal government is on the hook for damages from actions it took while unconstitutionally structured. In Laberth I believe that the government is potentially liable for contract damages. And in the cfc the government may be liable for constitutional violations of the 5th Amendment Takings Clause.

If any of the separate courts rules against the government, the doj could ask the court to consider damages paid from other court cases but it should be up to the discretion of each separate court.
