Federal court blocks state suits in Detroit bankruptcy
Wow that was fast.
link to story from auto news site
A federal judge has frozen all lawsuits against the City of Detroit related to its bankruptcy, clearing the way for Chapter 9 reorganization to go ahead, according to news reports.P
The Detroit News reports that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes issued the order this afternoon after hearing hours of arguments from lawyers representing the city and creditors. Opponents of the bankruptcy claim it is not valid and was designed to slash retiree benefits, the newspaper reports.
Rhodes conceded that his ruling enhances the likelihood of a Chapter 9 bankruptcy, but did not actually rule on whether the city is eligible for that yet or not. That is likely to come later.

MSNBC not serious about racial profiling
Quick to publish Bloombergs quotes but ZERO discussion about his 100% support for racial profiling.
So intellectually dishonest its amazing to watch this AM.
How the hosts and commentators can not connect Bloombergs remarks on radio just 2.5 weeks ago that more black teens need to be stopped and frisked and less whites shows his true colors.
It seams however because he is anti-gun and gives money he will get a pass.
Very disappointing. But not surprising seeing the praise Bloomberg gets daily on DU
