Michigan judge rules Detroit bankruptcy unconstitutional--and it is "not honoring the president"

Just as some psychiatrists are nuttier than the people they treat, some judges are more ignorant of the law than the general public.

Michigan circuit court judge Judge Rosemary Aquilina said yesterday's bankruptcy filing by Detroit is unconstitutional in her state.

Oh, Aquliana appears to have an infatuation on President Obama.

But aren't bankruptcies are a federal matter?

From the Detroit News:

Prior to her ruling on Friday, the judge criticized the Snyder administration and Attorney General’s Office over its hasty move to outflank pension board attorneys.

"It;'s cheating, sir, and it’s cheating good people who work," the judge told assistant Attorney General Brian Devlin. "It's also not honoring the (United States) president, who took (Detroit's auto companies) out of bankruptcy."

Aquilina said she would make sure President Obama got a copy of her order.

"I know he's watching this," she said, predicting the president ultimately will have to do something to make sure existing city workers' pension agreements are honored.
