Fighting Foreclosure
Author: John A. FliterPublisher: University Press of Kansas
ISBN: 0700618724
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
In the depths of the Great Depression, when foreclosure rates skyrocketed across the United States, more than two dozen states passed mortgage-extension or -adjustment laws to help farmers and homeowners keep their properties. One such statute in Minnesota led to the most important property law case of its time and still casts a long shadow upon constitutional debates and our own era's severe economic downturn. Fighting Foreclosure marks the first book-length study of the landmark 1934 Supreme Court decision in Home Building and Loan Association v. Blaisdell, which, by a 5-4 vote, upheld the Minnesota Mortgage Moratorium Act. On the one hand, Blaisdell validated efforts by states to offer legislative relief to citizens struggling to keep their farms and homes. On the other, it caused an outcry among banking interests and conservative legal theorists, who argued that these laws violated the Contract Clause of the Constitution and interfered with our free market system. In his majority opinion, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes argued that the reasonable and limited nature of the law and the unusual severity of the emergency it addressed placed it firmly within the "police powers" of the states to protect the health and safety of the people. In a strongly worded dissent, Justice George Sutherland argued for a consistent and strict interpretation of the Contract Clause regardless of economic exigency. John Fliter and Derek Hoff provide a concise history and analysis of not only this landmark case and the reasoning behind its sharply divided decision but also of the entire history of the Contract Clause. They trace closely the agricultural crisis, political pressures, and farmer-protest movement that produced the Minnesota law. And their study contributes to scholarly debate about the origins of the Constitutional Revolution of 1937, by which the Supreme Court accepted the New Deal, as well as to public debates about constitutional interpretation and the role that government should play in providing relief to distressed citizens. In the midst of our nation's ongoing suffering from massive foreclosures and bankruptcies, Fighting Foreclosure also offers a potent reminder that the High Court's decisions often revolve around lives at risk as much as abstract legal debates.

Book Description
Follow real estate developer/investor and entrepreneur, Douglas Boggs', own "David and Goliath" story where he acted as his own attorney against Wells Fargo Bank. Doug clearly exposes the depth of fraud in the foreclosure system, failures of the justice system, corruption of Wall Street and the illegalities of the Securitization of notes on Wall Street.He sheds light as to how a homeowner with no mortgage, one current on their mortgage, or one who paid cash for their home can still get foreclosed on. How there is over an 80% chance any financial institution foreclosing has no legal right to do so. How those institutions that collect your money for the mortgage have no right to. How Wall Street and the financial institutions illegally collect trillions of dollars from mortgages they hold no right to receive. Despite all of this, the United States government, or the taxpayers, bailed these same banks out and continue to do so to this day.Doug incorporates his personal story along with some of his own legal documents filed in his Fraud case giving the reader clear examples of his legal ideas used and explanations of the depth of the corruption within our legal system.
