WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The federal judge who found Microsoft Corp (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) in violation of antitrust law Tuesday said he might put an appeal of his verdict on ``a fast track' to the U.S. Supreme Court, bypassing an appellate court to speed resolution of the case, the Washington Post reported.... dailynews.yahoo.com If the appeal were expedited, it could go to the Supreme Court as early as this summer, setting the stage for a resolution as early as the end of this year -- a much shorter time period than many have anticipated... Should Jackson decide to send the case to the Supreme Court, it could be viewed as a boon to the Justice Department and the 19 states that have sued Microsoft, because it would bypass the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia. The appeals court in 1998 dealt the Justice Department a major defeat in an earlier, related Microsoft case. Such an end-run appeal to the Supreme Court is permitted by the Sherman Antitrust Act in cases that are ``of general public importance in the administration of justice,' though in the past 25 years it has been used only once -- for a review of the case to break up AT&T..." ------ Looks like more uncertainty...
