Google Motion Denied In Lawsuit Against Mississippi Attorney General

Posted by samzenpus on from the take-a-deep-breath dept.

An anonymous reader points out that a judge has called a time-out on a case between Google and Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood. "A federal judge has denied Google's motion to block enforcement of a subpoena issued by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood that seeks information from Google about parts of its operations, including information about advertising for imported prescription drugs. Federal court records also show U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate put Google's response to the subpoena on hold until after the new year. Wingate scheduled a Feb. 13 hearing for further discussions on Google's motion. He asked attorneys for both sides to file new briefs in January."

  1. Fighting against the largest gang in america. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All judges, lawyers, and DAs work and help each other. Google is fighting against the largest gang in the country and there's no way they can win. In a lawful country this DA would be behind bars, but in America he gets protected by other members of his gang. Considering the level of corruption in this case, is there a way another country can adjudicate the case ?

    I read "Google Motion" and my first thought was "Oh great, yet another Google product I've never used...."

      They already killed it. They kill products before anybody even thinks them up.

      Same here! Made the headline very difficult to parse. I was all like "Ooh! Google Motion! Must be a Kinect competitor! Just fire up Buckethead's Aquabot, your Google Motion and start dancing!
