Janet Reno Court Quotations

Now that the court has conclusively upheld our decision, I am hopeful that this father and son will soon be able to move on with their lives together,

regardless of the conclusions that the department has reached concerning Microsoft's conduct, as of yet no court has found that Microsoft has violated the antitrust laws; to the contrary, the recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has raised serious questions about the validity of the department's antitrust suit against Microsoft.

It does not disagree with my determination, it does not say that the boy cannot be reunited with his father in this country, and in fact the court said we need not decide where or in whose custody the plaintiff should remain while this appeal is pending.

We are pleased that the court has sustained our judgment that Elian should be reunited with his father, ... The court's decision reaffirms our position that only Elian's father can speak for his son on federal immigration matters.

We are pleased that the court agreed with the department that Microsoft abused its monopoly power, that it violated the antitrust laws, and that it harmed consumers,

Forcing PC manufacturers to take one Microsoft product as a condition of buying a monopoly product like Windows 95 is not only a violation of the court order but it's plain wrong,

In accordance with the Court of Appeals ruling we will take every step necessary to ensure that Elian does not leave the country while the Court of Appeals injunction is place,

The law has provided a process, and this little boy now knows that he can remain with his father. All involved have had an opportunity to make their case -- all the way to the highest court in the land. I hope that everyone will accept the Supreme Court's decision and join me in wishing this family, and this special little boy, well,
