With Neither Facts Nor Law On Its Side, FTC Pounds Table

Judging by the press release announcing the Federal Trade Commission’s lawsuit seeking to block the merger of major grocery store conglomerates Kroger and Albertsons, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan took this old legal saying to heart: “if the law is on your side, argue the law. If the facts are on your side, argue the facts. If neither the law or the facts are on your side, pound the table.” The FTC’s press release is short on facts and the law, but long on table pounding.
