Re: And suddenly ..
It may well be that some players in the US - quite possibly, including Obama himself - are pressing forward with that case hoping that Microsoft will win, because getting the law struck down by the courts is a lot quicker, easier and cheaper than trying to persuade Congress to change it. In fact, all people of goodwill should be in favour of the DOJ pressing it, because that's the only way to establish clarity about what the law really is.
Judges cannot strike down laws. They can at best adjust them by setting precedent.
