Once upon a time this would have been immediately identified for what it is: Unconstitutional.

Well, you never know. In a couple years the first affected company could sue and take this to SCOTUS and maybe they'd push it back.

But then, my optimist hat doesn't fit well anymore.

When activist judges decided they knew better than everyone else, the Constitution died. Now they run amok. It took Congress and the Executive a little longer, but now they have no constraints, either. That’s because the media, which once acted as watchdogs in the public interest, have now become their ardent supporters and cheerleaders. As of right now, there are no real checks on the power of the Federal Government in our country. And worse, all branches of government do not recognize any checks on powers between each other.

It’s chaos. No, better; it’s a gang-rape of the American people, with Congress, the Executive and the Courts each taking turns.

The government has been braking up trusts and monopolies for over 100 years.

Any business that is to big to fail, is to big to exist. No company should be allowed to become so big that the government is forced to bail it out with taxpayer dollars or risk a global financial meltdown.

I see no problem with this. I only wish the Republicans had been the ones pushing it.
