Reactions to Denial of Cert in Enron

Reactions to the Supreme Court's denial of cert in the Enron appeal:

"Our thinking was, if there was room for private actions, we'd be in a situation of a litigation free-for-all, that there'd really be no limiting principle here,"  said Robin Conrad, an executive at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

"From a public policy standpoint, it's an outrageous result," said former SEC Commissioner Harvey J. Goldschmid.  You can't turn down Enron without understanding the signal you're sending."
