SCOTUS WTF?

[HwyKnight]

Seems pretty clear that the manipulation of the bankruptcy system by the White House is unconstitutional, yet SCOTUS decides not to hear the case. Can anybody here explain why SCOTUS decided to punt on hearing Indiana's case?

Did they decline to hear the case, decline to issue a stay, or did they actually issue a ruling?

On Monday, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued a temporary stay on Chrysler's bankruptcy and sale to Fiat.

Tuesday the high court cleared the way for the reorganization deal between Chrysler and Italian automaker Fiat did not resolve any of the potentially significant legal issues raised against the deal. The high court went out of its way to emphasize that its decision simply lifted the temporary stay entered on Monday.

"A denial of a stay is not a decision on the merits of the underlying legal issues," the court said in an unsigned two-page order. It added: "Our assessment of the stay factors here is based on the record and proceedings in this case alone."


The Supreme Court case is Indiana State Police Pension Trust v. Chrysler, 08A1096
