Law enforcement is done on a case by case basis. The laws already exist. Congress doesn't matter for this right now. The courts (and DOJ) have to go through each case individually and see how the law applies. It can't all be done at once, as a matter of fact.

Since we can't do it all at once, the comment above's opinion seems to be we should do nothing because the oil industry needs enforcement first. Someone else will point to another thing.

It's good it's happening at all. The past few years I've seen more anti-monopoly rulings than the rest of my life combined. It's been great. It's all about to end though.
