I think it goes beyond that. To the judiciary for sure, but further. The notion of what antitrust is for has really shifted over the years. Something like the Bell System breakup, which I think was a great choice, is inconceivable today. And that's due to decades of concerted and well funded effort from parts of the US right to be "business friendly". And the specific businesses they mean here are not the small players and the up and comers, but the relatively small number of very rich people running very large companies.
