"As far as SM statement that treasury might appeal to the Supreme Court, that isn’t up to him or the treasury lawyers. That would be up to the Solicitor General to decide if the administration will appeal to SCOTUS and I’m sure he’d be hard pressed to argue this one the same as Treasury lawyers have. If I was the Collins plaintiffs, I wouldn’t settle, seek an emergency injunction against the NWS, and ask for additional remedies based on any actions FHFA takes that harms shareholders between now and the remand opinion in additiom"
Yes, There are many good possibilities. But the point was, knowing the 5th circuit ruling that FHFA exceeded its powers, it wrong for FHFA and UST to continue NWS and spend it.
