  > If politicians never engaged in polically motivated anti trust enforcement, then no anti trust enforcement would ever happen There’s a largely apolitical organization that is supposed to bring antitrust cases under a structure set up by congress. Sore, politicians can and do champion specific issues (in the case of antitrust, Teddy Roosevelt comes to mind) but by and large you’d prefer that the politicians remained high level (let’s have a structure to help keep the air clean) and the bureaucracy remained low level (let’s see what we can do about NOx emissions). If all antitrust had to originate in congress there would hardly have been any, ever.

    > There’s a largely apolitical organization that is supposed to bring antitrust cases under a structure set up by congress. And yet here we are, living in a world where anti trust action is long past due. That would be great if they were taking more action against blatant violations of anti trust law. But that's not happening enough. And since it is not happening enough, we should support any possible wins that we get. You should not be advocating against these anti trust enforcement acts. Instead, you should be arguing that more anti trust enforcement is done. > you’d prefer that the politicians remained high level How about, we all just support more anti trust enforcement, because clearly there isn't enough of it happening.
