So treasury just has to write the letter and this will all be over. The court has basically said the agency structure is unconstitutional so I think this game is all but over. Documents won't need to be released, everyone walks away unpunished.
Hey TREASURY, WRITE THAT LETTER ASAP.

Yes, I agree totally with your read. It's kind of like the "nuclear option" frequently mentioned in congressional discussions of the debt ceiling.

Were this divorce to take place, would this leave the GSEs as unregulated fully-private businesses? Would the former regulator be reinstated?

The one facilitator in this would be satisfying the camp within government that cites reform as necessary to prevent another bailout. That part goes away with dissolution. What remains, unresolved, is the surviving questions on the fate and future of affordable housing.

Never devoted enough time to diving into this agreement. I'll have to work on that.

JMHO.
