Even Apple’s lawyers said that they want to win this case on its merits, not procedural technicality.
They have lots of merits to argue and the facts are wholly on their side. . .
But a Legal adversarial case can not and should NOT continue without a legitimate injured party plaintiff. There is a rule of law in this country that conservatives have to support. Apple's attorneys did not say that this was a mere "technicality." In fact they MADE THE MOTION TO DISMISS, Fool in P.
If they wanted to argue the case on its merits, they would not have made the motion. Get real.
