Jim Sensenbrenner: “I hate to be the skunk at the lawn party, but somebody has got to be the skunk before we have to go over and vote.”

Now, why did that happen?

Successful implementation of the mandate for competition in the antitrust laws encourages innovation, which is the main driver of economic growth.

I believe U.S. citizens would be best served if antitrust continues to retain its traditional focus on promoting consumer welfare and competition in markets.

I remain skeptical of proposals that break up these companies, mandate a one-size-fits-all data standard, or create a government-run 'public option.'
