    It’s fine. Scotus will just say that the DOJ doesn’t have authority to file lawsuits without express congressional legislation on each individual matter.

      The Founders didn’t say anything in 1789 about algorithmic price fixing, therefore we can’t restrict it now.

      That’s stupid. There was no software at the time of founding and no precedence in England at the time. Therefore price fixing was never intended to be regulated.
