I’m impressed. A lot of people have hooked onto the MERS bill and the 5% Exemption Bill and they are looking for some help from the main bloggers on this subject. So here is my take on some things to keep in mind:

Neil,
The list you provided needs to have ‘eRegistry’,’eSignature’, ‘eSigning’, ‘electronic signature’ and ‘electronic signing’ added.
How much of the changes needed can be created thru a series of changes of regulations already on the books vice bills passed by congress?
Freddie and Fannie already REQUIRE usage of ‘eRegistry’ which is part of MERS. Various states have already passed bills allowing usage of ‘eSigned’ documents to be recorded by the Country Recorders. This bill for notaries was intended to work with that movement.
We have seen in the videos how ‘eSignatures’ are being applied without the individual so much as knowing that ‘his’ signature is the one being used to assign a Deed.
I can just see it someday in the future: instead of a jury there are ‘eVotes’ by a panel selected by an ‘eSystem’ and an ‘eSignature’ from a jury ‘eForeman’ on the conviction sending a prisoner to the ‘eLectric’ chair. Wouldn’t it be comforting to know that your name might be the one used?
MERS and it’s eRegistry plus eSignatures leads to eFraud! and I’ve had eNough!
Oh I almost forgot, Didn’t I say that Stall Street was voluntarily halting Fraudclosures so CONgress would be under the crack of the whip from their slave masters to fix the problem by enacting red carpet legislation. Legislation that not only violates the Ex Post Facto provision but also the Bills of Attainder prohibition as well by effectively DEEMING all homeowners (well not all just the ones they intentionally set up to take the fall) guilty without being afforded due process or the opportunity to prove our innocence or that there is no legitimately valid debt secured by all of OUR houses and consequently no right to foreclose (which they already know) and basically legislating themselves to the postion ‘ficticious debt’ collectors while at the same time proclaming Blood sucking Banks to be the Almighty Lord, can do no wrong and shall not be questioned. All this (witholding access to justice, circumventing due process in order to deprive people life, liberty and property) is basically the equivelent of all of us getting together and coming to the conclusion on our own that all of them (congress, the Resident, bank CEOs, judges, sheriffs, fed county and state gov employees) are all guilty for crimes of TREASON and are punishable by and sentenced to death without any court process, just like that. Then organize Lynch mobs to carry out these sentences and then if they bitch and say “hey you can’t do that, I did nothing wrong and have rights under the law”. We would just pause for one second, briefly look over their treasoness actions and to them reply:
“well we left out some minor formalities like court, but after a close inspection we’ve determined every death sentence was justifiably applied so there’s no need to go through all that hassel and waste all that money on unnecessary procedures that are just prolonging their inevitable death.”
And then boldly state “this is what’s best for the economy, what’s best for America”
You kinda have to look at it from an all or nothin perspective. If some of things fundementally stated in the Constitution aren’t sacred then none of them are, if unlawfully stealing homes from Americans in mass isn’t a crime even though the law says otherwise then neither is killing for wrongs comitted, if one law or principal isn’t upheld and honored then none of them should be. Why should we follow any of the rules which they not only make but themselves break. The Federal and State Constitutions and ALL laws made in pursuance to them are NULL & VOID ABSOLUTELY IN THEIR ENTIRETY. All we are now is a single independant nation without state borders or federal or state laws are are defined solely by our Declaration of Independence which gives us the choice to ‘alter or abolish’ all government and whatever law it has established.
If we the American people insist on not bailing these banks out again, at all in the coming soon round two – these banks will all collapse before we do, and we won’t have anyone around to kick us out of our homes.
People rights 1st, States rights 2nd, not Federal Gov’t ‘Rights’.
Banks and the Feds got married a while back.

Expect two pieces of legislation.
The first will create federal subject matter jurisdiction for foreclosures involving securitized mortgages. This bill may be sold as consumer protection. This jurisdiction will most likely be tucked into Title 15 (e.g., the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933).
The second will amend either the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or the Federal Rules of Evidence (Title 28) and will essentially compel district courts to disregard state laws regarding recordation of title, etc. and apply a laxer federal standard (which may also be simultaneously created). By treating state laws regarding assignment and recordation as “procedural” and not substantive under the Eerie Doctrine, Congress can avoid passing a bill that looks like an ex post facto law.
That’s my prediction, anyway.
What about MISMO? A scheme cooked up by the MBA.

They will most likely make up new words or mix some of the old ones up. I say we stop nibbling like rats wasting our time and energy and cork off the faucets spewing this unconscionable venom all over the Constitution by filing an injuction against Congress and the Supreme Court (only a jury would be able to decide whether or not to grant it because all judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court). We need to stop beeting around the bush and confront the main core of the problem head on, which is our government. As long as it’s left unchecked and dysfunctional, it’s going to produce BAD results detrimental to our well-being and future prosperity.
NOW THEY ARE CHANGING THE STORY AND ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS.
ABA WHITE PAPER: THE ROLE OF A TRUSTEE IN ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
WASHINGTON — Due to a number of recent, incorrect media accounts, the American Bankers Association today issued a white paper explaining the role of trustees in asset-backed securities (ABS) and, in particular, residential mortgage-backed securities. The paper specifically addresses the incorrect assertion that trustees are responsible for overseeing mortgage servicers and mediating between them and investors in securitization deals.
The responsibilities of the ABS trustee are set forth in the contracts governing the transaction, whether a pooling and servicing agreement or an indenture. The duties are ministerial in nature and typically include administrative functions such as maintaining securitization accounts, receiving payments, performing calculations and making distributions of information and payments. They are carefully detailed in the contracts to avoid misunderstanding and are limited to those duties expressly accepted by the trustee.
By contrast, the servicer typically collects all the income from the assets underlying the ABS, and provides information to investors on collections and other summary information about how the assets are performing. This information is used to determine the payment of principal and/or interest to investors. Additionally, where the underlying assets are residential mortgages, as required by recent federal legislation, servicers evaluate and approve mortgage loan modifications, short sales and other default resolution strategies to mitigate losses in connection with defaulted assets. If a default on a mortgage results in a foreclosure action, the servicer undertakes these actions in the trustee’s name as the secured party but is fully responsible for all associated activities including the engagement of counsel, eviction proceedings, property maintenance, and sale or disposition of properties following foreclosure.
This means that in most ABS transactions, the servicer has more information about and control over the assets, asset performance and the transaction generally than any other transaction participant.
In many asset-backed securities transactions, the documents may not contemplate any direct check on the performance of the seller or the servicer. Transaction documents virtually never give the trustee any substantive oversight of the servicer and its activities other than to confirm the timely receipt by the trustee of certain remittances and reports from the servicer, including reports of independent accountants and certifications in the forms required by the transaction documents.
Importantly, the trustee typically has no duty under the transaction documents to make investigations on its own for the purpose of detecting defaults, fraud or other breaches.
The entire white paper, “The Trustee’s Role in Asset-Backed Securities,” is available by clicking here.
