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."

    So what? The grandparent poster clearly doesn't buy into the liberal/multicultural ideology. His pidgeon-holing powers aren't impaired!
