You must’ve missed the part where Lina Khan built her entire career and reputation on an article she wrote for the Yale Law Journal as a law student arguing that Amazon should be split into separate companies and prevented from re-integrating.
She is considered a radical within the antitrust law world. She is vigorously opposed to vertically integrated monopolies of which Amazon is a star example. This case against Amazon is basically the final boss of her career and her legal movement, the New Brandeis Movement.
And then when this gets big it will be decided on by partison 90 year old idiots who will probably and up saying "amazon is 100% in the right on all counts, as damages to their reputation, amazon now owns the FTC" and then it is promptly found out that amazon paid them $10 million each with a comically large check in front of the courthouse at a press conference while taking photos and laughing "about those darned poor people" and the ruling will still stand.
