Good morning, QwikSand. If there are a, "Lot of wire stories about republican senators defending Microsoft, exception being Senator Hatch," how about considering it this way: Whether people knew it or not before last night, EVERYONE now knows that the judge was a Reagan appointee. Read, "The Republicans appointed this judge, therefore the Republicans are coming down on MSFT."
I have not turned on the TV, gotten my paper, or turned on the radio yet this morning, but from what you say, Qwik, it is the Republicans now holding office that are coming forward to support MSFT. Read: the Republicans are trying to distance themselves from the _judge_, making "non-partisan" stands in an election year. MSFT? Its just there.
I'm not going to bash the Republicans for their defense of MSFT because I truly think that the Democrats would be doing the same thing if the judge had been a Carter appointee.
