Sorry, but by the time one gets to court over such things one has
ALREADY lost due to the great expense of such suits. The DoJ simply demands
that things get fixed, and the parties comply because it's the right
thing to do and the DoJ's interpretation makes sense. One barely related
case isn't even worth citing as a defense.
