"Company A is suing group B to prevent group B from adding company A to a list. Once you distill it that far, it is an obvious restraint on free speech." The first amendment issue (freedom of speech) does not exist in this case. The amendment applies only to actions of governmental entities.
Jackson's decision to send the appeal to the Supreme Court, in my view, was fairly predictable. His decision to also freeze the conduct remedies that were slated to take effect against MSFT on September 5 was suprising to me. It would be interesting to find out what caused this change.
