Re: "I guess the DOJ did a pretty good job." MSFT is in the driver's set right now. They have nothing to lose legally at this point. IMO DOJ/TPJ came down so hard to get MSFT to settle. MSFT's best chance is with the district's appeal. In order to to circumvent that the DOJ will have to request TPJ request the Supreme Court take the case. But that's not going to be so easy for the DOJ i.e. webmail.netscape.com " The Justice Department can use a rarely used law, the Expediting Act, to ask Jackson to bump the case past the appeals court and straight to the Supreme Court. appeals court and straight to the Supreme Court. "They have to brush the dust off this law," Kovacic said. The law is only for use when a case has a strong effect on the nation overall. Jackson has signaled in closed sessions that he would look favorably on a request to send the case up to the Supreme Court. The D.C. Circuit has a history of reversing Jackson's decisions in the Microsoft case. Since the Supreme Court is due to close its spring term June 30, it may not respond to the request until it returns Oct. 1, meaning the case would be stuck i limbo until then if the nation's highest court did not act."
