Antitrust AAG Jonathan Kanter of @JusticeATR on his approach: “Our job is to ensure a fair game not to choose who wins.” #StiglerAntitrust22 
“Law enforcers and courts must respect Congress's core command that the antitrust laws should be applied to protect competition. How we do that must evolve as competitive realities themselves evolve.”
“we need to focus on markets as they exist today. If conduct harms competition, the models and tools, must adapt, not the other way around.”
“We are law enforcers,” Kanter says, explaining why the agency will push to litigate rather than settle. “Over reliance on settlements leaves us relying on yesterday’s law.”
In response to a question about DOJ’s two recent court losses, Kanter says they aren’t viewing them as a loss because the courts accepted that cases focused on labor market harms are a legitimate focus of antitrust.
