Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-thats-one-way-to-get-at-this-story dept.

DaveM writes "Bush's most recent Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers, successfully argued that people who were sold defective software by Microsoft weren't "injured," and couldn't participate in a class action against the company. The case involved unstable compression features in MS DOS 6.0, which were corrected by a $9.95 update, MS DOS 6.2. Plaintiffs wanted Microsoft to offer the updates for free, but eventually lost to Miers' arguments."

      Bush wants to be a king and that's it. King bush decides all, king bush has veto over everything, King bush can take control over anything.

      King Bush thinks he even owns and or has the right to tell other country what to do.

      All hail king bush or throw rocks at him.

      Bush is just the latest puppet, term limits do absolutely nothing, the puppet masters just find a new puppet every time. If anyone really thinks the President is calling the shots, they haven't been paying very close attention...

    No, its "If you were dumb enough to vote for George Bush, TWICE, you're too stupid to know you've been ripped off." AND you deserve it! I just pity the rest of the poor slobs who have more than room-temperature IQ and know they're getting fucked over again.

    Ah, finally a flame. An offtopic one, from an Anonymous Coward. A Slashstalker, no less. Look, clown, just because you reveal how you mod down legit posts as infantile revenge for another post making you look like a fool doesn't mean you're not a TrollMod. You're abusing the system. And you're a pathetic, vengeful little person. Why not try to win an actual argument sometime, with facts and logic, instead of sleazing around with anonymous attacks to even a score that the winner has immediately forgotten? Or is that all that you do? You're locked in a perpetual losing cycle with yourself and your own worst nightmares.
