In legal papers filed Tuesday, Microsoft asked the high court to throw out the lower court's rulings because of critical comments about the company made to reporters by trial Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. The company also asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to halt the transfer of the case to the U.S. District Court for a hearing on remedies. That transfer is due to take place on Friday, when a new judge could be selected to take over the case.
