A bit meandering, but I'm sure we'll be hearing some devastatingly acid recaps anon.. After the shock of such Overt Injustice made Official - is grokked fully. Thanks!

I mean, it's an extremely bold tactic to always annoy the judge, because they not only have to annoy someone who's used to being annoyed by the litigants, but they have to annoy him or her so badly that they misstep judicially and thereby reduce the effect of the case. Could Microsoft's legal strategy be to make it not possible to it to get a fair trial, based on the above? How would that pan out? Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."
