A Long Island couple is home free after an outraged judge gave them an amazing Thanksgiving present -- canceling their debt to ruthless bankers trying to toss them out on the street. Suffolk Judge Jeffrey Spinner wiped out $525,000 in mortgage payments demanded by a California bank, blasting its "harsh, repugnant, shocking and repulsive" acts. The bombshell decision leaves Diane Yano-Horoski and her husband, Greg Horoski, owing absolutely no money on their ranch house in East Patchogue. Spinner pulled no punches as he smacked down the bankers at OneWest -- who took an $814.2 million federal bailout but have a record of coldbloodedly foreclosing on any homeowner owing money. [Note: FINALLY!! A judge with BRAINS. Way to go, Judge Spinner. Hit these crooks hard and SMACK THEM DOWN!!]

  1. #1    PEOPLE!! We need more judges like this on our side from the bottom up. If we had them, we would be seeing less criminals coming in at the top.

  2. #2    I'm sure the state and federal legislatures will respond to these liberal activist judges by enacting laws to prevent these practices. Nothing gets a legislature to act faster than any hint of relief for the poor from the bench. Legislative enactments will trump judge made law. The banks must be protected from bleeding heart liberal activist judges.

  3. #3    To label these judges as "liberal" or "activist" shows you don't know the situation. Go study it closely. It's eye-opening.

    The judges are enforcing the law very conservatively, per law, and not letting the bankers run roughshod over people.

    This is not politics at all.

    If we could see more of these it might get the attention of bankers (and others) who would then change their ways a bit. Wouldn't that be 'change we can believe in'?
