I loved what Judge Grossman had to say about MERS: “This Court does not accept the argument that because MERS may be involved with 50% of all residential mortgages in the country, that is reason enough for this Court to turn a blind eye to the fact that this process does not comply with the law.”

Here’s an old Mandelman article on it – an oldie, but goodie!

Companies need to comply with local laws ALL THE TIME. States have differences in unemployment regulation, transaction taxes, environmental protection, pricing (via PUC’s), etc. His claim that MERS had some kind of right to unilaterally decide that it did not have to follow local laws is unbelievably arrogant. I also loved it when the interviewer pushed him on when MERS plans to actually begin complying with the Consent Decree and he started talking about all the PR and lobbying they’re doing.

What an execrable slime ball Bill Beckmann is. What a detestable piece of pond scum MERS is.

One of the commenters on this blog said that Eric Holder’s prior law firm created and vetted MERS. Is this a likely reason why no investigations are undertaken? Holder also defended powerful white collar predators/criminals as his bread and butter. Undoubtedly, there are strong ties there also.
