I wonder how long it will take for all the big boys, Microsoft, AOL and the like, to get this to the Supreme Court and get it rescended by paying off the judges??? |

Why would someone with a lifetime appointment to a high paying and highly prestigous job risk impeachment by taking a bribe? Any bribe big enough to buy someone in that position couldn't be held secret for very long. |

It won't be the Supreme Court.
Measures are already running through the House and Senate that are not as restrictive as the Utah bill. These will be passed by the Federal government, nullifying Utah's bill.
Just my opinion, same as with the spam bills. |

| true, how about taking them for rides in a private jet, saving them from flying coach, and bringing them on lavish hunting trips with VIPs .. it appears they only need then to write a 21 page rebuttal to any nasty accusations this may sway them in an upcoming judgement, and case closed. |

Maybe I'm an idealist but I believe that the judges are above reproach. It doesn't make sense that they would take any type of gift or payment for a decision about spyware when it was the same judges who chose the last President.;) |

I think you prove the point right there; They certainly showed they were not above reproach before so why wouldn't they do it again?
I don't think it is required, though, as a Federal law would override the Utah law just as CAM-SPAM overrode other state laws regarding spam. |

People lobby Congress but I don't think I've ever heard of someone lobbying Supreme Court Justices. |

You can't lobby a judge. A judge must be impartial. It's a felony offense to even suggest a bribe to even the lowest of judges. I don't feel that a federal anti-spyware bill would overrule a state bill if the state bill had broader limits. The state has the right to build upon existing federal statutes. If there was a federal law specifically stating that spyware was legal, then that would overrule the Utah law. The constitutionality of this law would go to the Utah supreme court first--since it will appear in their annotated laws/codes. |

You'll have to ask the mods or fatness to remove the avs and sigs. I don't think that it will happen during a Presidential election year.:p
