It looks like the antitrust scene is starting to heat up again. 

First, Christine Varney, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the DoJ's Antitrust Division, announced that the DoJ under President Obama would pursue antitrust charges more vigorously than under the Bush administration. 

After eight years of the federal government's laissez faire approach to antitrust issues under the Bush administration, the Obama Justice Department has announced that it will take a more aggressive stance on monopolies and anticompetitive behavior.

Christine Varney, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the DoJ's Antitrust Division, made the announcement in a speech this morning.  In her remarks, Varney stated that the Justice Department would withdraw the findings of a report on Section 2 of the Sherman Act as official DoJ policy on antitrust monopoly enforcement.
