In Detroit, the Supreme Court's hold on the bankruptcy sale of Chrysler to Fiat looks like a "bump in the road" or maybe a "television time-out in the last 30 seconds of a basketball game."

The hometown paper says Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who issued an order Monday holding up the sale and who typically fields appeals from the bankruptcy court in New York, could still decide the matter herself.

In Indiana, home of the pension funds seeking to block the Chrysler sale, the state treasurer tells the Indianapolis Star why he's fighting over $6 million. Richard Mourdock says, "If the changes that the federal government has made indiscriminately go through, the capital markets of the United States are at risk."

Meanwhile, the New York Times goes all-out on economic tensions inside the European Union. It's worth a read, and never mind that odd lead photo of the mom with her hand over her baby's face.
