Some recent comments in the NY Law Journal web site suggest that if the subsequent rulings of Judge Jackson on the law and on remedies go against Microsoft, and Microsoft files an appeal, the Justice Department can expedite such appeal directly to the Supreme Court. This is possible because of a provision in the antitrust law itself. It is well known that the Appellate Court for the District of Columbia has a majority of conservative judges and has already ruled in favor of Microsoft on an earlier case. Being able to circumvent this panel by going directly to the Supreme Court would make it more difficult for a Microsoft appeal to be successful. Anyone care to comment?
