Somehow, this manages to capture the very worst of both options. It provides 1) insufficient time for the money to actually do any good, 2) more taxpayer money than was requested, 3) diversion of funds away from their Congressionally-mandated purpose, 4) prolonged deflation of stockholder value, and 5) merely delays the inevitable bankruptcies while 6) adding additional debt to be managed in them.
Brilliant.

TL, I just posted about the possibility of suing to get the money back. Do you think that's a possibility?
Not as taxypayers. Congress can stop the President from doing it, if it wants to, but probably not the courts. As I mentioned on your post, it might be possible to sue the big 3, but I'm not quite sure on what theory.
