Greece threatens top court action to block Grexit
The Telegraph ^ | 29 Jun 2015 | Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

Greece has threatened to seek a court injunction against the EU institutions, both to block the country's expulsion from the euro and to halt asphyxiation of the banking system. “The Greek government will make use of all our legal rights,” said the finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis. “We are taking advice and will certainly consider an injunction at the European Court of Justice. The EU treaties make no provision for euro exit and we refuse to accept it. Our membership is not negotiable,“ he told the Telegraph.

I am sure from a Marxist-Lennist point of view this makes perfect sense. The debtor is broke and cannot pay any part of the debt, so the creditor is morally obligated to continue to lend money to the debtor.

Greece is unwilling to give up their sugar daddy under any event.

Or perhaps a better analogy would be a parasite and a host.

Great, lets draw out the misery with a long and arduous court process. Do you honestly think capital flight will stop while you’re doing this? You have to KEEP the banks shut down, you numbskulls. Can you do that for MONTHS?!

“certainly consider an injunction at the European Court of Justice. “

Good luck with that.

It's really pretty simple.

The criminal cartel of self declared business leaders of the vaunted “New World Order”, originating from a failing socialist grouping of disparate European nations, have spectacularly failed in creating or sustaining a mythical European Union.

Welcome to the onset of WWIII.

Too bad for them they can’t sue in SCOTUS.
5 of the justices would find their contracts meant whatever Greece wanted!

Well, there is some wear and tear, but I think that adds character.

Guess again, a-hole. The time for negotiation is past, should have negotiated in good faith.

Right-AND you could just as easily be talking about students in the US who don’t/won’t repay student loans.

What a world!!

The Grecians were famed for fine art
And buildings and stonework so smart.
..They distinguished with poise
..The men from the boys
And used crowbars to keep them apart.
Ovid

The EU may need a crowbar to separate Greece’s sucker from its teat:
“We demand that you allow us to continue leeching!” Greece

As an American, I need to decide if I favor this or not. How many drachmas would I get for the dollar vs. the current EU/dollar exchange rate which is about 1.11 Euro per dollar. I’m considering vacationing there next year.

That’s a good point. After a currency change, costs there for a vacation would be low, indeed.
