Judge Denies Kohn's Motion In DOJ Settlement

[This looks like a very interesting intervention. If Kohn is right about

now. The legal aspect of the intervention also casts a light on the 
value of case law.]

the Court did not address, because it could not explain, the decision in 
the 2004 Microsoft case in which two trade associations were allowed to 
intervene for the sole purposes of appeal on the same basis that I moved 
to intervene in this case."...'
