JFD: djia101362 asked, " Is there any type of Appeals process for the DOJ/AGs?" You responded: "jia101362 : They can Appeal. In fact they can leap to the Supreme Court and avoid the unfriendly Appellate Court.JFD" Wouldn't that be double jeopardy? Do Constitution rights apply to corporations? We know it will ultimately come down to $$$ in government pockets, not in the pockets of the supposedly harmed consumers. So if the 19 state AGs and the DOJ can hound MSFT until they are satisfied with their "fair share" of any settlement, then Microsoft may as well pull out of the settlement talks right now, and resolve themselves to take advantage of every appeal available to them; i.e. just sit on their hands until they have a chance to be heard by a judge who has not pre-determined his verdict.
