"Feb. 5, 2004  |  WASHINGTON (AP) --  Stung by earlier court rulings,
Microsoft Corp. has positioned one of its top lawyers to run a legal
committee to influence how much oversight U.S. courts exercise in
antitrust settlements like the one the company negotiated with the Bush
administration.

The debate over how aggressively federal judges should scrutinize these
settlements is pivotal in the next major ruling in Microsoft's
long-running antitrust case, a decision that could come as early as
Friday."

  "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself.   That in it's essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power." Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Message proposing the Monopoly Investigation, 1938
