MSFT--NY Times Article nytimes.com Rejoicing in Redmond over W's election may be premature: . . . Mr. Boies's very public performance defending the Gore campaign during the Florida recount battle makes it highly unlikely that the Bush administration would retain him on the Microsoft case — or any other. Still, if the Bush administration backed off of the case, Microsoft would not walk away free and clear. Nineteen state attorneys general are partners in the litigation, and they say they will pursue their case — including the breakup order — no matter what the federal government may do. "If they were to settle the case on terms that were weaker than we believe should be accepted, we would not agree to that settlement," said Tom Miller, the attorney general of Iowa and the leader of the 19 state attorneys general pursuing the case. He added that he and the other attorneys general believe the judge's breakup order is "the right remedy." Even if the Bush administration keeps its distance from Mr. Boies, Mr. Miller added, "we will figure out a way to have strong oral arguments — and there are plenty of lawyers who can do that." saukriver
