Judge Petitioned To Unseal SCO-IBM Court Records
An anonymous reader writes "Groklaw is reporting that Maureen O'Gara has applied to the judge to open all and any filings or transcipts that till now have been sealed by the Utah district court hearing the SCO Group's $5 billion suit against IBM. Groklaw's Pamela Jones notes that 'O'Gara believes the public can't understand the case, because of the sealing' and some of the Groklaw.net members seem to agree that, that since in the U.S. any citizen has a right to review court records in order to monitor the performance of a judge, that O'Gara's 'motion to intervene' will most likely succeed." An anonymous reader writes that Jones last night said of the request "that she is 'of two minds' about the filing: 'I'm crazy wild to read everything. But on the other hand, the court and the parties wouldn't seal things without a reason that seems good to them. I believe in privacy, personally, and I don't think the public has a "right" to know everything.' The legal filing to unseal everything has not yet become available via Pacer."

How the heck did this nonsense slip in? It wasn't in the original article!
My rights don't need management.
How far do you want to take that? Butterfly Effect?
I can just see it now. "I demand to know the line of reasoning behind the desicion to order the senate's lunch deli platter from the grocery store and not the deli down the street. The extra work slowed down the grocery store lines as customers waited to get orders filled. This led to a glut of people waiting in line at the grocery store, and less parking spaces available since people were coming, but not leaving. The lot became full, and the other stores in the stip mall didnt have any parking, so a man picking up his take out from the chinese spot double parked. A cop stopped to put a ticket on the car. The man noticed this and a fight insued. That man got arrested for throwing chow mein at the police officer. The cop had to take the man to jail, which forced him off his usual route, so there was no one to notice a poor young girl getting harrased on the street, so I had to chase the attacker off and offered to give the girl a ride home. She was just giving me a kiss to say thank you. I swear honey thats how it happened! Those damn government workers not ordering from the Deli"
