.comment: Judge Robert Bork on the Microsoft Settlement | |
|
||
| Time: 01:01 EST/06:01 GMT | News Source: LinuxPlanet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Thanks Tim. "Acceptance of the proposed settlement in U.S. v. Microsoft would clear the road for the company to extend its monopoly to most if not all aspects of computing, says Judge Robert H. Bork. "I don't think it does anything to Microsoft," said Bork in an interview with Linux Planet. "I think it just lets them continue as they were before." If that happens, he says, Microsoft's control is likely to extend beyond the software industry, leading to monopolies in areas including online access and the Internet." | ||

| Plus Bork is an idiot. Which is why he is not on the SC. |

In 1973, a Special Prosecutor by the name of Archibald Cox was hired to investigate Watergate. President Nixon was infuriated as they got closer and closer to the truth.
President Nixon demanded that Attorney General Richardson fire Cox. Richardson refused and resigned. Next, Nixon demanded of Deputy Attorney General Ruckelshaus that he fire Cox. Ruckelshaus refused and resigned. Finally the Solicitor General was in charge and Nixon demand of him that he fire Cox. The Solicitor General abliged, and sent a letter to Cox notifying him. FBI agents moved in and sealed off the offices of Cox and those working on the Watergate investigation. That Solicitor General was Robert Bork. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/watergate/articles/102173-2.htm That is why Bork was not given a fair hearing in the Senate. Everybody already knew he had no ethical backbone. This post was edited by sodablue on Friday, January 25, 2002 at 14:29. |

Right, but doesn't anyone see that the ideal supporters (in fact, former supporters) of Microsoft even are against them.
The Appeals Court loves to kiss MS's @ss, Penfield was a pro-business, anti-regulation, conservative windbag who was vilified by the lib-dems and anti-MS crowd before the trial, Bork is the king of big business, anti-interference, right wing conservatism. And when and where has Microsoft ever demonstrated anything like ethics, anyway? The point is: it's actualy rather reassuring and balanced to see these nutjobs, who nonetheless no this country's laws better than any of us do, opposing Microsoft. |

| sodajerk. Money talks. Bork is selling himself to the unti-MS crew. He has no ethical backbone. |

#9, #11... Please refer back to post #5 by myself. It clearly explains why Judge Bork was unfit to hold office.
It saddens me that there are people in this country who are incapable of thinking and continue to support the GOP in whatever corruption they push forth. :( |
