He's an Obama appointee, on the bench for nearly a decade, good reputation.
I've no idea why we don't have dedicated antitrust judges. It makes little sense to throw a judge with no antitrust experience into one of the most significant antitrust cases in years, especially with novel legal arguments and a party alleged to have deleted evidence.
I am wondering about sth else that could make anti-trust unnecessary. The basic idea is to build anti-trust into the system. Quadratic taxes. The bigger a company the higher the taxes. The biggest companies would have a tax rate of 100% and therefore be unprofitable. On the other hand, small businesses would pay virtually no taxes at all.
Well, Considering there haven't been any real antitrust prosecutions brought in the last twenty five years.... But, it is an excellent idea, assuming that the executive branch will continue to cooperate.
Shenanigans (plus ça change). Appreciating your commentary Yosef.
Do you have a bio of the judge? Previous employers? Etc. There is a lot of talk about revolving doors, so I would be curious about his track record.
