"But the public does expect people that have as much influence as Mr. Boies to behave responsibly, and this could have a very negative impact on his career...

Not in Democrat circles.

[Bonaparte]

Hehe...

[larryjohnson]

I always thought he looked unethical.

[Mrs. P]

Isn't this the guy who was somewhat hygienically challenged? (Did I spell hygienically wrong?)

[battlegearboat]

Free Republic could use a spell checker.

My huge dictionary just dosen't fit in over here by the keyboard.

But for now, don't worry about it.

The only lawyers who would work with that gang would have to likely lean towards unethical behavior to complete the orders from their clients.

DAVID BOIES?

[Northern Yankee]

Ethical Democrats?

oxymoron

[Puppage]

Good point. I guess we shouldn't be totally surprised.

[Those_Crazy_Liberals]

So what is the actual charge?

[Salo]

Pinging the Penguin Pinger. This is the guy who's going to help SCO (pronounced "scum") take out IBM. HAHAHAHA.

[cricket]

Is this the Lawyer who wore tennis shoes everywhere. . .even at the Supreme Court?

[rdb3]

The Penguin Ping.

Wanna be Penguified? Just holla!

Got root?

[Nick Danger]

This is the guy who's going to help SCO (pronounced "scum") take out IBM.

Circuit Court Judge David Crow called the series of lawsuits by Boies on Habie's behalf "a sad commentary on the inability of the legal system and the courts of our state to resolve a simple contract dispute, when one is willing to litigate without regard to costs."

Hmmm.

[Golden Eagle]

I agree that David Boies is a real slimeball. Unfortunately he knows the tech industry like the back of his hand. Who else has taken on Microsoft, and won. IBM, probably next.

[Puppage]

You bet cha.

Unfortunately he knows the tech industry like the back of his hand. Who else has taken on Microsoft, and won. IBM, probably next.

David Boise knows technology? That has yet to be proven. His work against Microsoft wasn't all that successful and he was a total train wreck with Napster. A joke.

As far as SCO (AKA Caldera) against IBM? Boise will relive his Napster failure. Caldera, at best, will be a small chip in IBM's windshield. At best.

If a group of lawyers got together and built you a chair to sit in it would be the first time any of them did anything of value.

David Boise is a bottom feeder. But that's his chosen in life.

[aristeides]

Remember how Boies mischaracterized the Illinois chad case in his filings before the courts in the post-election?

[wafflehouse]

couldnt happen to a better shyster

[Golden Eagle]

David Boise knows technology?

Yes, were you not aware he actually was the defense lawyer for IBM in a portion of their 30+ years of anti-trust trials? I believe that is where he first made a name for himself.

Yes he lost Napster but no one on earth could have won that case. Linux will be on the Napster hot seat this time, being the ones likely holding the stolen property.

I certainly do not admire the man (and despised him during election 2K), but he simply got the Gore case because of his reputation which was largely built in the tech industry, and which he has smartly retreated back to it appears. Will be interesting to see what happens, as I don't think the possible infractions listed in the article above will have any impact on his new IBM case.
