It (the law) most certainly was ignored, by Obama; we now have to trust that a judge does the right thing. I guess Obama spent too much time cogitating on the Constitution, witness his voluminous writings on all the critical constitutional issues of the day, to worry about such trifles as contract law.

They may have made concessions, but that was part of a negotiating effort in the past. Once those negotiations were closed, they were entitled to a certain amount of Chrysler under the law, according to a well-established, legally sanctioned pecking-order; Obama abrogated that arrangement, let's hope the judge follows the law.
