   Mekki: As AG, showing power to judges has worked, they are doing a better job of this. The courts are not having trouble understanding the point of antitrust laws, a judge said something about "doing violence" to the spirit of antitrust, talks about some successes, the agencies have indeed changed as the judges said they needed to, the US agencies now know that they have found hardworking judges who will listen if the justice department explains the cases in a compelling way. #antitrust #justice
