“Unconstitutional”: Kroger sues Federal Trade Commission ahead of merger court hearing

I somehow doubt that lack of competition ever lowered a price, and being in Kroger’s home state I can tell you prices haven’t exactly dropped…

Pretty sure there are no 'monopolies are legal' clause in the Constitution. Whereas Congress has created several anti-monopoly Acts.

Why heck, darn it, they've even offered to sell a dozen or two of their lower-performing stores if that would clinch the deal.
