Ginsburg Delays Chrysler-Fiat Deal

Share

(Newser) – Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg today put a temporary stay on the sale of Chrysler to Italian automaker Fiat, SCOTUSBlog reports. Ginsburg’s motion allows the justices to further consider the matter, and either postpone the sale or let it go forward. A full postponement of the sale would require five judges to agree. Ginsburg’s decision said the sale was “stayed pending further order.”

the absolute power that these judges hold is frightening. will be curious to see what she does if fiat decides to terminate the deal or change the terms. these types of decisions are playing with the lives of hundreds of thousands of folks. Reply

Glad that a liberal judge put a stay on a liberal president's plans to sell off a private company.Good to see our separation of powers working as it should. What are we as taxpayers doing owning businesses, anyway? Label me skeptic on the whole idea. Reply
