...And We're Back On

"The Supreme Court late Tuesday declined to extend a stay of the sale of Chrysler assets to Fiat, clearing the way for the deal to close as soon as Wednesday morning over the objections of three Indiana state funds and several consumer groups."

Out.

Um, Yeah, We're Going to Take a Look at That

"The United States Supreme Court agreed Monday afternoon to delay the sale of most of Chrysler’s assets to Fiat pending further consideration of an appeal by three Indiana state funds, in a move that injects a new element of uncertainty over the carmaker’s bankruptcy case."

Somebody's already not cool with this.

Supreme Court Stonewalls Tyco Executives' Appeal

The Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of Tyco executives Dennis Kozlowski and Mark Swartz in order to overturn their convictions.

Shockingly, a case involving $6,000 shower curtains and a toga party on the island of Sardinia was determined to be not worthy of the high court.

A Note to the PCAOB Lawyers: Bring Some Homemade Videos for Clarence Thomas and You'll Be Fine

The constitutionality of the existence of the PCAOB, created by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, will be argued in front of the Supreme Court this fall, per CFO.

In a case that will be far less interesting than Hustler Magazine v. Farwell, the high court will decide whether the PCAOB's existence "violates the Constitution's separation-of-powers principle".

The plaintiffs in the case are the Free Enterprise Fund, a policy group that supports "small government". Timing might not be the best, Free Enterprise Fund...

...With Souter stepping down and Obama likely to appoint someone likely to support to more regulation as opposed to less, good money would be with the PCAOB on this.
