Sensenbrenner emphasizes caution in applying antitrust laws to avoid harming innovation.

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.
Conservatives are consumers too. And the way the net was put together, in the eyes of Congress, is that everybody should be able to speak their mind.
You know, I think that antitrust law has to continue to be focused on consumer welfare rather than deviating into other problem areas.
