I even read today that John Ashcroft has chimed in. Of course, it is very difficult to do ... The Sirius XM Merger in the Court of Public Opinion

SCOTUS Weyerhauser Opinion Released

Justice Thomas’ opinion is available here.  The punchline: “The general theoretical similarities of monopoly and monopsony combined with the theoretical and practical similarities of predatory pricing and predatory bidding convince us that our two-pronged Brooke Group test should apply to predatory-bidding claims.”  Professor Sokol has a few additional comments at AntitrustProfBlog.

Please No "Passenger’s Bill of Rights"

Soledad O’Brien said a (sort of) bad word on American Morning this morning. I was watching when she said it. I didn’t notice the word, but it’s plain as day in the transcript below (omissions noted by ellipses):

Sirius/XM: You Heard It Here First!

Today’s report that Sirius and XM plan to merge vindicates the antitrust analysis offered here last June.

Considering the extensive non-satellite content available to listeners, and considering as well the efficiencies associated with the Sirius/XM combination, it is reasonable to ...
