Hugh
Hewitt
wrote
a
lengthy
opinion
piece
about
how
“The
left’s
favorite
legal
‘analysts’
are
almost
always
wrong”
which
never
(a)
names
a
single
left
leaning
analyst
or
(b)
identifies
any
instance
where
a
legal
analyst
was
wrong
about
anything.
Tremendous
work
all
around
over
there.

FTC
action
against
affordable
luxury
brand
merger
“not
in
the
bag.”
Because
when
mergers
break
antitrust
laws,
courts
write
new
rules
and
when
the
government
challenges
those
mergers,
courts
say
“didn’t
you
read
those
new
rules
we
wrote?”
And
the
cycle
goes
on
and
on.

not
unlike
