  6. Antitrust Law -- Antitrust Laws
    Antitrust law originated in reaction to a public outcry over trusts, which were late-nineteenth-century corporate monopolies that dominated U.S. manufacturing and mining. Trusts took their name from the quite legal device of business incorporation called trusteeship, which consolidated control of industries by transferring stock in exchange for trust certificates. The practice grew out of necessity. Twenty-five years after the Civil War, rapid industrialization had blessed and cursed business. Markets expanded and productivity grew, but output exceeded demand and competition sharpened. Rivals sought greater security and profits in cartels (mutual agreements to fix prices and control output).

"I have steadfastly maintained that the independence of the Executive Branch be preserved and its confidential documents and information not be released to further a confirmation process." Bush "reluctantly accepted" Miers's withdrawal, according to a White House statement. Unlike prior correspondence to Bush, Miers used no exclamation points in her withdrawal letter.

But surely it is clear that those who have the power to impose their interpretation of "legitimacy" will so construct and construe the legal system as to permit them to root out their enemies.
