My favorite memory of Metzenbaum will always be his line of questioning during the confirmation hearings for Robert Bork. Metzenbaum had seized on an academic article written by Bork which analyzed the virtues of price fixing at retail. Not collusion between manufacturers to maintain minimum prices, but the ability of a manufacturer (say Acme Widgets) to say that its model #57 will not be sold at less than $X price. The argument for such a scheme being that manufacturers might be encouraged to begin offering additional services with the product if they could be assured it wouldn't be blown out at major discounts. Whether or not it was something the Congress wanted to offer as a modification of the traditional anti-trust laws was one thing, but this was an academic journal thought piece, and Metzenbaum, completely misunderstanding the piece, went on to beat up Bork, asserting that he was advocating allowing price setting collusion between competitors. Bork tried to explain this about 4 different ways and Metzenbaum was completely opaque, he could not understand the simple distinction. Metzenbaum later cited studies by union economists that showed Ohio consumers would be hurt to the tune of $X billion dollars if this scheme of price fixing (collusion between competitors) were allowed. It was the definition of demagoguery. Good riddance Howie!
