Another reason for the Supremes to let the Ct of Appeals have their turn: ...Microsoft is expected later today to file a response to the government's petition for direct appeal, arguing, among other things, that federal law does not allow the states' portion of the case to be taken directly to the Supreme Court. Legal experts say that argument has merit, but that ultimately the Supreme Court and not the appeals court would need to decide on it. If Jackson does certify the case for direct appeal, he would likely do so this week, Kovacic said. The Supreme Court is under no compulsion to accept the case and could still send it back to the appellate level. The high court is expected to make a decision on hearing the case by the first week of October. dailynews.yahoo.com

Judge Jackson may certify the case for appeal to the Supreme court... Since according to TPJ's indications, this case is deserving of E.A. to the Supreme Court which is about to recess for 3-4(?) months, it comes into question why he would not elect to go through the Appellate Court for a more immediate, expeditious review (you know, for the sake of the consumer.) Do you know the precise recess date(s) for the Supreme Court? Are you aware of any circumstance that could delay their recess wrt to this case? TIA Cordially, Gary
