Judge Holloway clearly took some giant steps forward in both clearly explaining the application of law with respect to standing.

Practically all the questions I get relate to how to prove the case that the loan was securitized. This is the wrong question.

Whether this will have any effect on foreclosures is a question that cannot be answered as yet. With more people moving into the poverty level due to declining real wages and…[...]
