Part 3 of partner Jay Levine’s Antitrust Law Source blog series takes on a question now at the center of the antitrust debate: if the FTC is no longer meaningfully independent, does the U.S. still need two federal antitrust enforcement agencies? Jay examines the arguments for preserving the FTC’s specialized authority and expertise, the case for consolidating antitrust enforcement within the DOJ, and the potential implications of the One Agency Act.

This discussion builds on Parts 1 and 2, which explored the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. Slaughter. There, Jay examined the constitutionality of limits on the president’s ability to remove FTC commissioners and how the Court’s decision to overturn a 91-year-old precedent could reshape the FTC’s structure, authority and future role.
