Kaboom! The WSJ blows up Denise Cote.


The Wall Street Journal has a blistering essay that attacks judge Denise Cote, who found Apple guilty of e-book price fixing.
It's worth a read, but here are a few highlights with some commentary:
In July, Judge Cote of the New York federal district court convicted the iPad of being a conspiracy to increase digital book prices, though the tablet's 2010 introduction increased competition and consumer choice and, er, lowered digital book prices. She then appointed her friend Michael Bromwich as an external monitor to review antitrust at Apple, which he has interpreted as carte blanche to act as the inquisitor of all things Cupertino.
