Proving once again that our state’s elected leaders couldn’t really care less about what voters think Florida’s House of Representatives sailed through a foreclosure bill which is quite frankly a real mess.
They apparently couldn’t care less about fraud.
They apparently couldn’t care less about forgery.
They apparently couldn’t care less about addressing the real problems in foreclosure courts.
“Your” elected representatives apparently just want to say they’ve “done something” about foreclosure.
The whole thing is a real mess as it is and there’s a good chance it will be amended later to make it even worse…..
If you need another example of your country not listening to you and a separate set of rules for the banks and institutions, here’s yet another example…..
I always *try* to look on the bright side of things.
It’s not always easy, but I TRY.
Quite clearly this trainwreck piece of legislation is going to generate a whole lot of activity in Florida’s appeals courts and very likely the Florida Supreme Court for some time to come.
So much of this law flys so directly in the face of long established black letter law, case law, the Florida State Constitution and quite possibly the United States Constitution that it boggles the mind.
Hopefully one of the very FIRST issues to be properly resolved will be the *show cause hearings* in the new bills and the complete lack of ANY definition as to precisely WHAT constitutes sufficient cause to preclude a summary judgement, (which I believe was *purposeful*).
Quite clearly, Representative Passidomo and Senator Latvalla (despite Latvalla’s “aw shucks I ain’t no lawyer” schtick), know full well that the TRUE intent of this deceitful legislation is to codify statewide the very SAME “Rocket Dockets” so infamously used in Representative Passidomo’s own district by using *show cause hearings* as the rocket fuel.
This “rocket” may get passed by the legislature, but it will never get off the launch pad without a LOT more fight I hope.
