<p style="font-size:xx-small;">A long-time federal judge has been appointed to handle Detroit's bankruptcy
amid a court ruling Friday that states the filing violates the states
constitution and must be withdrawn.The judge, Steven Rhodes, has worked
in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for nearly 30 years. He was appointed Friday
by Alice Batchelder, chief judge at the federal appeals court that covers
Michigan.Ingham County Judge Rosemarie Aquilina ruled Friday that Gov. Rick
Snyder and Detroit Emergency Manger Kevyn Orr overstepped their authority
and violated state law by proceeding with the bankruptcy filing because
they knew the outcome could affect benefits to thousands of Detroit residents.I
have some very serious concerns because there was this rush to bankruptcy
court that didnt have to occur and shouldnt have occurred, Aquilina said,
in a spate of orders arising from three separate lawsuits.Orr, who filed
the bankruptcy document Thursday, has yet to respond the judges ruling,
and there is no indication so far that city officials plan to
take any action in response to the ruling.Aquilina also said Michigans constitution
prohibits actions that will lessen the pension benefits of public employees,
including those in the city of Detroit.Plaintiffs shouldnt have been blindsided,
and this process shouldnt have been ignored, Aquilina said.Lawyers representing
pensioners and two city pension funds got an emergency hearing with Aquilina
on Thursday at which she said she planned to
"Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago," President Obama said
Friday in the White House press room.The president's decision to speak out
about the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman case is an explosive, risky step
in an already polarized racial landscape.The first black president has tried
to speak about race before and not had a good response. That's
possibly why he said that he's not calling for a "national dialogue"
but asking people to do some soul searching at home, at church
and among friends.The president's decision to come out and speak, despite
the warnings from his top advisers, reveals how deeply the Martin-Zimmerman
case has torn at the nation's long, troubled history of race relations.
The fact is president must have concluded that he had no choice
but to speak out or be recorded in the history books as
a political no-show on the critical race issues of his day. President
Obama is already under fire for not doing enough on race, for
not speaking out about black on black crime in the country, about
high black unemployment, about the tragedy of urban education for black
kids. Something deep in him must have forced him to speak out
this time.While it won't please his critics that the president spoke at
all, it's clear that Mr. Obama is trying to offer a leader's
healing prescription for a nation filled with hurt over the Martin-Zimmerman
case.I know I have been hurt in the days since the verdict.I
have been full of sa
