More accurately, the party is pro free market - which makes sense that a Republican-led government would want to enforce anti-competition or antitrust laws.
That said, in theory at least, the US Justice Department is supposed to be unbiased and not directed by the whims of the parties.
- scarface74 7y agoTraditionally, Republican administration don’t block mergers and they don’t try to break up companies. The Justice Department has never been unbiased. I don’t recall any scandals where the justice department were obviously been manipulated by a Democratic President (I’m not putting it past them), but there have been many reports about Bush II and Trump. But even if it is not stated, the Justice departments more or less goes after cases along party lines.
