Court opinions in newspapers and periodicals or blogs that read this way ("The Roberts Court wants to stick it to the consumer - I can prove it: the Defendant won in all 4 cases

Here's another reason-as if you needed it-as to why getting a reasonable bailout of the mortgage-backed securities market through Congress was so difficult. Below I reproduce an
analysis from Gregg Easterbrook of the Brookings Institute: Supposing we assume the bailout is required, here is what bothers me about the plan so far: Taxpayers don't get stock, what
they get is warrants that can be exchanged for stock, and nonvoting stock to boot…. Even if the warrants are called [sic, Easterbrook ...
