But now the law and the veto are being exponentially expanded to stop ALL foreclosures - and thereby attacking the concept of private capital.

I is owed on the grandest scale yet.

Private capital is being attacked no matter which way we go.

From the article -

written by Rep. Robert Aderholt (R., Ala.), moved through Congress without attracting much attention and appears aimed at a much broader target than the foreclosure process. It would have required state and federal courts to accept documents of many different kinds that are notarized by people or computers in other states.

As a personal anecdote, my mother in law is currently paying off $11,000 of credit card debt that was due to identity theft. She got a summary judgment against her because she did nothing to fight it.

I, on the other hand, was harassed for a larger amount by a bunch of lawyer trying to BS me into thinking they worked for Bank of America [they didn't, they were debt collectors]. Now, I have never even applied for a card from Bank of America, much less owed them the thousands of dollars they claimed.

Their 'evidence' that came with the court summons was a notarized statement from another state saying 'they'd seen the records' and I owed them money. Thank goodness I knew enough about the law to tell them in the reply to produce the contract.

They couldn't, so I was in the clear.

The banks decided to make it 'easier' by going digital, and that's grand, but deciding OUR rights could be sacrificed so they could have their lives made simpler is NOT.

A person of good conscience pays their debts, but a person being thrown out of their home by someone who can't even legally prove they own it is wrong, and IMHO, a failure to uphold even the most basic standards of evidence.
