Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Bodach]

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

The Treasury has trampled on the fifth amendment rights of private shareholders, which prohibit the taking of private property for public use without just compensation. If Fannie and Freddie are profitable again, then the government backing needs to end. It will become unconstitutional.

Especially now that it is becoming more and more apparent to John Q. Public the banks are more to blame for the housing mess (assuming we're not going to ever solely blame the government itself).
