MI. Democrat Supreme CourtJustice Charged With Fraud

From the Detroit Free Press:
Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway, retiring Monday after accusations of fraudulent personal real estate dealings, now faces a federal bank fraud charge for allegedly transferring a home she owned in Florida to allow for the short sale of her home in Grosse Pointe Park. A complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit Friday alleges Hathaway fraudulently transferred the real estate to others before telling financial institution ING Direct she needed to sell her Grosse Pointe Park home by short sale because she couldn’t afford the house payments. Hathaway’s lawyer, Steve Fishman, did not respond to email or a call Saturday for comment.Hathaway is set to retire on Monday. She has been off the bench since she announced the decision to retire Jan. 7 after the Judicial Tenure Commission filed a complaint and sought her immediate suspension. The commission alleged she committed "blatant and brazen" misconduct violations in connection with private real estate transactions....
Hathaway, who was nominated by the state’s Democratic Party, is expected be replaced by an appointment by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder. The situation likely will restore the 5-2 majority the GOP held from 1999 through 2008, when she was elected to the high court. Hathaway was halfway through an 8-year term.  http://www.freep.com/article/20130119/NEWS06/130119027/suprreme-court-justice-diane-hathaway-fraud?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE
Looks like the Michigan Right To Work Law will not be overturned anytime soon in the Michigan courts.
