Cogent and concise thread on the FTC’s Amazon complaint
#econtwitter should take a look at the (heavily redacted) @FTC Amazon complaint that came out recently. Given past experience, this case will likely not be resolved for 3-20 years. Not everything is visible -- but I'll give my best guesses below.. 1/ https://t.co/LZyoxR2FwT

Here is my quick take on the FTC's new Section 5 UMC Policy Statement, what it is missing, and the troubles it will likely face if the agency relies upon it to bring UMC cases. https://t.co/kseK8xArCG Thanks to @TOTMblog for the invitation. (1/2)

The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) recently released Policy Statement on unfair methods of competition (UMC) has a number of profound problems, which I will detail below. But first, some praise: if...
For the final post in @TOTMblog's digital symposium on @FTC #UMC rulemaking, we thought it was appropriate to turn to @ProfWrightGMU -- the architect of the 2015 UMC statement that the commission has now repealed and replaced. https://t.co/pt34g5ENiY

This is the correct take. @dougmelamed was DAAG/Acting AAG when I was at @JusticeATR, part of a first rate front office. Emphasis on intellectually honest.
@ProfWrightGMU In my DOJ experience, staff are very professional, accept that elections matter and enforcement priorities change, and care most that political appointees are intellectually honest, act for substantive and not political reasons, and respect the staff even when they disagree.

@EmoryUniversity annual Parent’s Weekend, we skipped the official activities in favor of the club baseball team’s double header. Watching baseball with @d_milzz , and watching David play baseball, are two of my favorite things to do.

1/ @FTC wants to make rules banning a wide range of "unfair" business practices It's 🤪 to think that the Congress of 1914 intended the FTC to serve as second national legislature Here's why the courts will stop this breath-taking power grab 🧵
Big news: We filed comments with the FTC yesterday opposing 2 petitions that would entail a “constitutional revolution.” 👀 These petitions aren’t just unsupported by the evidence + harmful to workers. They’re also outside the FTC’s legal authority. https://t.co/pbrVFmvCpt

A good overview of some of the radical things afoot at the #FTC, by my @Mercatus colleague @AldenAbbott1 (via @TOTMblog): "Khan’s ‘Vision and Priorities for the FTC’ Statement Lacks Humility and Strategic Insight." https://t.co/gTQVo8AYq4

This is closer to correct, but incomplete. I’d add two things: Thing 1: the NB group is “leading” the movement (they have mugs!), not the econs. Thing 2: the leaders advocate a paradigm that explicitly, clearly and sometimes proudly rejects the role of economic analysis.

How does @Liz_Cheney look at Donald Trump? Like a hawk. "Cheney sees Trump through the lens of foreign policy. He’s a character familiar in other countries: the ruthless demagogue and aspiring tyrant." That's why she's standing up to him.
slate.com
She believes in standing up to tyrants, including the one in her own country.

Justice Breyer will be a force on the Court for saving antitrust from those who attack its fundamental underpinnings in order to achieve their subjective political preferences.
