I'm guessing stock holders would argue that there's a fiduciary duty to get the best legal defense and the lawyers have a similar mandate. Still you would think that Google would not mount such a defense on the basis of a moral principal.

It only breaks fiduciary duty if the executives have concrete data that their actions will have zero impact on hiring, which is a stretch.
- geodel 8y ago> we might lose all of our best people if we do this This is the argument media seems to be making for long time. So far instead of all not even 0.01% seems to have shown conviction and left Google. Or it just might be the case the best people seems more concerned only with technical issues at work.
