SC- Obscure Law May Complicate Microsoft Appeal

If the company does appeal, a little known law called the Antitrust Expediting
Act, which applies to antitrust actions brought by the U.S. government, will
cause the defense some problems.

The Expediting Act will allow the Justice Department to seek immediate
review at the U.S. Supreme Court, vaulting over sympathetic judges from the
federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., who ruled in Microsoft's favor in
June 1998. That ruling used stark language to proclaim that courts should not
get into the business of designing software.
