She didn't answer because she knew if the American people found out that Congress was allowed to "legally" engage in insider trading, the money train would be de-railed. How do you think these people make their cash? And why do you think they protect Wall Street?

They say they are following the rules and they are. There is a law that allows them to trade on inside information they obtain in the course of their congressional duties. Anyone else would go to jail. But Senators and Congressmen can make money off of otherwise illegal activity. And some of them may even stand up there and be able to say "they don't trade", because their family members or a proxy does it for them.

The OWS'ers have Guy Fawkes and the Tea Partiers have John Galt. That, in and of itself, should be enough for any person to judge each movement. And whichever one you choose should be enough for others to judge you by.

If that's true, then why are you the only one bringing up race? It seems to me that nobody here (whether they support Cain or not) cares about what color he is. But you do. In fact, you're the only one who does.

Everyone here is discussing the merits of his economic plan. You, on the hand, seem to be OBSESSED with his race and have taken every opportunity to talk about the man being black.

Seriously, nobody cares. Only you. Get some help.

I don't think "pride" is the word I would use to describe the way we feel. When you have a rabid animal on your land, you put it down.

It's almost finished. There is one more and then it will be done. And the third will never see the light of day.

Classy.

While I have never been offered a bribe, my experience has been strikingly similar. They are all so sleezy, I want to wash off the filth of having to appearing in court with bleach and a brillo pad. And yet, they all think they're such wonderful people. Since this ruling was handed down, we're going to have a break for a month or two. So I can get some rest. But this will probably drag out for at least another 6-10 more months. The only real reward I'll get from this will be the potential prison sentences these hedge funds may face.

The stories I could tell you about this case...holy cow. You would have material for the next 6 months.

Unfortunately Cowboy I'm involved in this one. That's the reason I haven't been able to post here on the Bigs for so long. I'm a shareholder in this case. I'm also a Pro Se objector like Nate. I've been traveling back and forth to Delaware, appearing in court for the last 8 months or so. The truth is, Nate saved the shareholders back in December. And we've been fighting like crazy ever since.

There is a lot dirty stuff going on in this case. I've had quite an education about the bankruptcy courts. I do have to say, it's nice to have a reason to be back on the Bigs again. Even if it's only for a day or two. I've been eating, sleeping and breathing this case for so long that I don't know what's going on in the rest of the world.

And Appaloosa retaliated against Nate by attempting to get discovery on him. Nate stood his ground, refused to comply and Appaloosa withdrew their request. But you get the idea. They have no compunction about using intimidation tactics to silence anyone they feel is a threat.
