The Senate Senate Committee will soon be held by the Gail Slater affirmative hearing for Assistant Attorney General, the Antruust department. Slater’s antitrust understanding is wide and deep; she previously worked in the Trump 45 administration, Federal Commission for Trade (FTC) and a private sector. It already has the support of several senators and Pam Bonda State Attorney; It should be easily confirmed.
Slater, once confirmed, FTC President Andrew Ferguson, and their agencies should return to the next Consumer welfare standard (“CWS”), which is the law of the country from Reiter against Reiter against Sonotone of 1979 of the Supreme Court.
Reiter adopted CWS from Professor Robert Borka’s seed 1978 book. Which explained that the competition states companies to use consumers, for example, lowering prices, growing production, improvement of service to customers, expanding research and development and increasing innovation.
CWS has proven to be consistent, objective standard, measurable economic analyzes and empirical evidence. Consequently, since the executors and courts could honestly apply CWS, he provided companies predictability in politics, law and implementation, which led to great innovations and growth.
President Joe Biden’s antitrust implementation is criticized as excessively aggressive.

Unfortunately, the Bidana Administration neglected the law and sought to destroy CWS, with its employees, including the Federal Commission for Trade. Chairman Lina Khan, Assistant Prosecutor Jonathan Kanter, Special Assistant President of the Tim Wu and Office for Consumer Protection, Rohita Chopra, leading the way.
They are students of the discredited “Brandeis antitrust” attitude, which is an amorphous standard that is subject to the whims of what is an antitrust executor in power or the personal preferences of individual judges. Moreover, the Congress never determined the maximum allowed market share or how big it is too big for companies.
For example, under Brandeis Antiprust’s, a large company with a market share of as much as 4.5% faces the risk of implementing antitrust implementation. Accordingly, the advocates of the antitrust brandis claims that consumers are better with fewer large companies, less smaller companies and pay higher prices.
Trump’s administration will decide how to properly apply CWS and strongly implement the laws on the protection of market competition without an adverse effect on US innovation and global competitiveness, especially since the Chinese and other companies in foreign sides compete with the neck and neck with US companies (eg Chinese AI Company Deepseek). Worse, the EU has imposed billions of euros into the antitrust fines with US technological companies (eg Apple, Alphabet), basically transferring money from employees and shareholders to the EU bureaucrats.
The Ministry of Justice’s Divisions usually temporarily pause or seek extensions for their active cases when they are waiting for the confirmation of the Assistant Prosecutor’s assistant incorrect administration. However, leaving Biden’s implement seemed the opposite.
For example, he suddenly filed a proposal to the opposition in Visa, Inc. The day before Trump’s inauguration, and January 30, 2025. filed a new lawsuit To block the proposed acquisition of the Juniper Networks sector of the wireless local network (WLAN). Other examples of probable exaggeration of biden doy -a include Realpage, Inc. and Ticketmaster-led nation lawsuits.
In Visa, Biden Doy, perhaps guilty of bad policies of his administration that caused high bank card fees, allegedly that discounts and stimulating payments are not forgoing investments in their network and partnerships, but have been anticrateful and blocked contestants to enter the debut Transaction sector.
Visa is particularly interesting because the DODD-FRANK AMANDMAN DURBIN already dictates that debit cards allow at least two inappropriate payment card networks, which ensures competition in directing transactions. It also limits the exchange of Visa and MasterCard compensation, at the same time to exclude American Express and Discover, which can therefore charge merchants of larger fees.
Reiter adopted CWS from Professor Robert Borka Seminar Book of 1978. “Antiprust’s Paradox”, which explained that competition leads to companies to use consumers through, for example, lowering prices, growing production, improvement of service to customers, expanding research and development larger innovations.
In the real page, Biden implement, perhaps guilty of the bad rules of its administration that caused the lease prices, allegedly that Realpage, Inc., which makes AI software that automates the rental “KOMPS” to advise the apartment renters, fixed prices and caused high prices.

In TicketMaster-Live Nation, Biden Doj, perhaps using the political advantage of high-technological failures of the TicketMaster (eg his Crash website for Erasa Taylor Swift), allegedly the Nation of TickketMaster-Live Illegally monopolized the Live Exclusion event, Retaliatory and other anticoncultural behavior.
The Slater and Trump Doj should pause and inspect these and other antitrust actions of bidet. The implementation of antitrusts is designed to protect competition, not individual companies. It is not to implement social policies such as preventing the censorship of social media, increasing the salary of employees, minimizing the inequality or restricting the political influence of the company.
The standard of welfare of consumer for antitrust care was modeled at work by Supreme Court candidate Robert H. Bork. File: Bork testifies to the Senate Committee for the judiciary during a certificate at Capitol Hill 16. September 1987. (AP)
The Biden administration slightly left 46 years of success CWSi revised the previous failed Brandeis attitude, thus creating insecurity, suffocating innovation, slowing economic growth and giving in political and implementation.

Trump’s administration announced on February 12 that she would no longer recognize the legal or for the protection of the removal of the causes for FTC, the Consumer Products’ Safety Commission and the Commissioners of the National Committee on Working Relations, giving the President more freedom to replace them.
Accordingly, Trump’s administration can and should be returned to the standard of consumer welfare, reverse biden administration failures and use consumers and general economy.
