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 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...
