Howard Shelanski says that regardless of whether the Microsoft-Yahoo deal is ultimately approved, the deal’s size and complexity means it will likely prompt regulators to extend the initial 30-day review period for an additional six months…. “These firms are both major players, and there’s certainly some horizontal overlap,” says Shelanski. “There are many other markets involved here” … and each market needs to be evaluated on its own merits.

“The policy record of the Clinton administration on civil rights is more mixed than people generally acknowledge,” said Christopher Edley Jr., the law school dean … who served in the Clinton administration. He cited Mr. Clinton’s unwillingness to intervene in Rwanda, where hundreds of thousands died in tribal war, and his signing of what Mr. Edley called “a horribly punitive crime bill.”

“Maybe the jury liked [Snipes], and somehow held him less culpable than his co-defendants,” said Eric Rakowski…. “Maybe they thought he was just along for the ride.”

“I wince when I hear conservative pundits shout about how discrimination no longer exists. As a country, we still have a long way to go. Yet when I consider Obama’s record and his unique talents, I do put aside my own sense of entitlement based on my racial identity and believe again in the American dream. I still feel strongly about my Asian-American identity and at the same time I am called to common ground with my fellow citizens.”

“He [Obama] operates from an inner framework of values, a moral compass that I think is absolutely critical in that job,” said Edley, who taught Obama in law school.
“I sort of bristle a little bit when Christopher talks about Obama’s centeredness and sense of values and there is an implied criticism that Hillary Clinton doesn’t know who she is and doesn’t have values,” Echaveste said.

“I’ve worked with now a half-dozen presidential candidates as well as two presidents, and (Obama) is one of the three or four most astonishing minds that I’ve encountered in public life,” said Edley.
“Because I’ve been the deputy chief of staff to the president for two-and-a-half years, where you see up and close what the job requires, I just concluded that as much as I liked Obama, she was more ready,” said Echaveste.
