Judge looks to Obama stash to continue paying public sector union pensions.
(USA Today) ? LANSING, Mich ? An Ingham County judge says Thursday?s historic Detroit bankruptcy filing?violates the Michigan Constitution and state law?and must be withdrawn.
But Attorney General Bill Schuette said he will appeal Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina?s Friday rulings and seek emergency consideration from the Michigan Court of Appeals. He wants her orders stayed pending the appeals, he said in a news release.
In a spate of orders Friday arising from three separate lawsuits, Aquilina said Gov. Rick Snyder and Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr must take no further actions that threaten to diminish the pension benefits of City of Detroit retirees.

Aquilina said the Michigan Constitution prohibits actions that will lessen the pension benefits of public employees, including those in the City of Detroit.
?I have some very serious concerns because there was this rush to bankruptcy court that didn?t have to occur and shouldn?t have occurred.?Snyder and Orr violated the constitution by going ahead with the bankruptcy filing because they know reductions in those benefits will result, she said.?We can?t speculate what the bankruptcy court might order,? said assistant Attorney General Brian Devlin, representing the governor and other state defendants.
?It?s a certainty, sir,? Aquilina replied. ?That?s why you filed for bankruptcy.?

?Let?s get this moving to the Court of Appeals because that?s where you all are headed,? she said.
She also ordered that a copy of her declaratory judgment be sent to President Barack Obama, saying he ?bailed out Detroit? and may want to look into the pension issue.
Message?
No matter what happens to Detroit, the public sector democrat money laundering operation unions must continue to be fed.
