Very true.
I don't know that I would say that Arthur Andersen has been "vindicated," though. As I understand it, the Supreme Court's decision was based on the determination that the trial judge's instructions to the jury were too broad and vague for the jury to properly determine whether obstruction of justice had taken place. The Supreme Court did not find that obstruction of justice
hadn't taken place, but just that the jury wasn't properly told how to apply the law to the evidence.
