Wording of Proposed Order in US v National Assiciation of Realtors

http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f233600/233607.htm

Upon reading the document(s) here are my comments (and we are having to "re-up" with a broker today over 885 Greenville, and I am an attorney, so these comments are particularly cogent, to the extent I can be):

1. It's incomprehensible;
2. It protects the cut-rate brokers but does nothing to protect the seller, who cannot get his property on the MLS except through a broker;
3. The established full-service brokers will still shun the home seller on his own or through a cut-rate broker.
