Will be christened today in front of a very small group of royal family members. Good morning. Welcome to aljazeera america. Im stephanie sy. Im thomas drayden. To do a federal trial gets underway to determine if the largest municipal bankruptcy filing can move forward. With detroit more than 20 billion in debt, there is little doubt it is in dire financial straits. A city manager has taken over and proposed cutting worker pensions and benefits to help the city get back on track. Labor unions and retirees will argue rolling back pensions view lathes the states constitution. The bankruptcy itself is quickly becoming a costly affair. For the motor city, first came the debt, then came the bankruptcy, then the bankruptcy bill. Its soaring like detroits skyline. The city council dutifully keeps meeting, but since the finances taken over, it is the city manager calling the shots. Hes handed contracts to lawyers and bankruptcy experts worth more than 62 million and counting. Only his office k
Subjected to hate mail and death threats. Our mod effort request is that she be given an additional day to make her decision, and i am so glad that debra katz has used the word bully to describe exactly what Chuck Grassley and all the republicans in the senate are trying to do, every republican senator has joined and supported Chuck Grassley in the bullying tactics that Chuck Grassley has been using well dr. Ford. The first deadline that he gave to Christine Blasey to agree to his terms, to the judiciary was 10 00 a. M. This morning. Nawaz her deadline, then he moved it to 5 00 p. M.

Fords lawyers have asked for one more day to make that decision. And theres no conceivable reason why they cant give her that one more day, but these are people who are fighting over wednesday instead of thursday next week, as if that makes any difference. And again what theyre using to bolster their argument is we dont want to delay anymore, we want it to be wednesday and not thursday. And we want to go. We want to do this. And if you say no, we will vote on this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court without ever hearing this allegation, without hearing from the accuser or any witnesses or anybody who might be able to cooperate or deny this story. That doesnt seem like a very strong place from which to push from the Senate Republican side, but thats where we are. Yeah, and they try to use normal juris prudential norms like the accuser goes first and then the person whos defending himself goes second, which is norm in jurisprudence. But every other norm in jurisprudence, they want
Were here at what was the 10 00 p. M. Deadline to tell the Judiciary Committee what she was going to do next week. And as youve reported dr. Fords lawyers have asked for one more day to make that decision.

And again what theyre using to bolster their argument is we dont want to delay anymore, we want it to be wednesday and not thursday. And we want to go. We want to do this.
