The Justice Department said nine states critical of its proposed anititrust settlement with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) have the legal authority to pursue tougher remedies on their own.

Wow, there's a twist! Dubya's DoJ almost seems to be arguing on the side of justice for a refreshing change. Of course, they're not going to be the ones demanding that justice (where's the lobbying money in that?) but they sound like they're not arguing AGAINST it, and that's a breath of fresh air.

Thunder, if you don't mind, can you paste a link to these news blurbs when you post them?

MSFT is up in afterhours trading. Not sure if it has to do with the DOJ statements, but it could.

The DOJ can't outright tell the judge to call off the hearings, but they are telling the judge that the state's are going well beyond the norm. The DOJ is obviously quite skeptical of the state's actions.

IMO,
Dave
