It is happening in Colorado
Are fresh air and fond memories also served daily for wrongful foreclosure victims?
Sheriffs, SWAT, and Assault Rifles in Idaho Springs, Colorado
Yesterday a highly militarized police force arrived at the home of 63 year old Sahara Donahue to evict her from her residence of 24 years....
At 2:45pm ten or more truckloads of police in full combat gear armed with liveammo AR15’s, and grenade launchers arrived on the scene & forced occupiers to the ground at gun point. Police then made their way to the house, broke down the front door, threw Sahara to the ground in her own kitchen and pointed their guns at the heads of a mother and son who were in the house with Sahara along with others. They continued to break items in the house as they searched it....
After a couple turns down Hwy 103 another realization occurred to me. There on the shoulder of the road was an ambulance waiting on standby. Maybe I am mistaken, but it would appear that the Sheriff’s Department was prepared to do, and had every intention of doing, whatever was necessary to obey their bank’s wishes.

Colorado foreclosure system under the microscope in U.S. Supreme Court case
Colorado’s century-old public-trustee foreclosure system, the only one of its kind in the country, could be gutted if a Pueblo man wins his case before the U.S. Supreme Court, legal experts say.
“If the Supreme Court rules that FDCPA applies to foreclosures, either Colorado’s public trustee system will need to be re-written, or the whole process will be abandoned for a judicial foreclosure system,” according to attorney Keith Gantenbein, who had worked for several years at now-closed Castle Stawiarski, one of the state’s largest foreclosure law firms. “So many things that are allowed now would not be allowed under FDCPA. It will shake the industry to its core.”

Colorado Man Who Lost U.S. Supreme Court Case: Bad Situation Now Worse
In January, just before his potential blockbuster case focusing on foreclosures was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, Pueblo's Dennis Obduskey admitted that he was playing "a pretty high-risk game." If he won, he argued, regulations in more than half of the United States would change for the better. But if he lost, he conceded, "the banks and mortgage services end up being off the hook," and consumers like him would continue to get screwed.
On March 20, the court delivered his worst-case scenario. The often-divided justices ruled 9-0 against the matter formally known as Obduskey v. McCarthy & Holthus LLP.
