SPOILED? GM Doesn't Like Resolution Judge Orders In FCA Case, Moves To Replace Him

General Motors filed a request with the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to allow it to continue to pursue civil racketeering charges against Fiat Chrysler on Friday, noting that a previous judge’s solution was not to their liking.

Earlier this week we reported that Judge Paul Borman ordered GM CEO Mary Barra to meet in person and alone with Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley to hash out a sprawling, 95-page lawsuit tête-à-tête. The case stems from GM accusing FCA of bribing UAW leaders in order to develop labor contracts that put GM at a disadvantage. Judge Borman sounded straight up sick and tired of the two companies and their bickering on Tuesday.

I'd love it if stupid Mary got the suit thrown out of court with a dismissal based on contempt.

GM thinks judges are like priests, if you don't like your penance seek out another one!

Nah, you just say "fuck the priest", feel guilty about your, light a candle, burn some incense, fling water around and call it good. I'm old-school, Italian Catholic by marriage.

I thought only Trump complained openly about judges and their bias against him. Not smart move for GM to make such statements in public considering the number of cases they are likely involved in over the course of a year. The legal community is small and tight knit. What goes around comes back to you eventually.....
