There is no reason to expect that the second appeal will work. However, it is the escalation from there that will be most critical. ” If the court refuses the request, the Fed may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.” That Supreme Court Decision, which will likely come around the time of Obama’s mid-term elections, may prove to be more critical for Obama’ reelection chances than unemployment, healthcare and regulatory “reform” combined. If the Supreme Court does ultimately side with the Fed, it will become clear once and for all who truly runs this country (and the world), and the the US constitution is at best something the oligarchy uses when it runs out of one ply Treasury Paper.
