There’s a facetious saying in legal circles about the ease with which prosecutors can secure indictments in grand jury cases: You can get a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich.” The legal aphorism has long been attributed to Sol Wachtler,

I'm not sure what you mean since a government agency who is responsible for consumer competition and conduct took Google to court and won? They did their job. To challenge dodgy practices, and get courts to uphold the law. I'm n

Cool, so what are you going to do about a China, and what it's doing to its minorities? It is so big, powerful, and vital to global trade. Are you only going to enforce these things on weak countries? Or are you willing to go to war
