If any bullying is going on, it is on the part of Microsoft, which apparently has launched a lobbying campaign to recruit public support for its position. If this isn't an example of putting politics into a judicial issue, I don't know what is. Specifically, a Washington, DC lobbying group has written letters to the editors of small, rural newspapers in conservative areas, such as the upstate NY rural area in which I live. The letters accuse the DOJ of "taking" property and "stripping" MSFT of its constitutional rights. What you accuse the government of doing is really being done by MSFT and its henchmen, and I truly believe that even this Supreme Court, with its pro-conservative majority, will not buy this blatant attempt by MSFT to influence the public and the courts.
