Once a man who sounded at times like a foe of abortion, it was his department that would have argued for the restrictions when the case came before the Supreme Court.

That was not enough for Attorney General Neil Hartigan, who filed a petition with the state commerce commission demanding compensation of telephone customers affected by the outage.
