department and ftc going on opposite sides of the litigation. are they in their expressing their view on the proper application of federal law? partment of justice tried to intervene to try to disqualify one of the lawyersfs' outside hired by the state of california and the judge denied that. rather than being an outside observer right now and expressing their opinion about what's going on here, so far not. kevin, is it probative, as you use the term, in a court of law? you can decide what you want to decide, but it is relevant to the area who have taken a hard look and say it is ok. yes, states will fight that tooth and nail saying that they are like everyone else, but when you consider that the agencies came up with a collective solution in a long process with a very specific answer to the problem, whether it is spoken or not, i would think a judge would give that serious thought before saying off the table, block the deal. just the second here, we have been hearing about this testimony of the last couple of days where t-mobile said they thought they could raise prices. that's a sideshow as far as i'm concerned. the justice

and part of the issue here is that because the law was so poorly written, the treasury department hadn incredible line of latitude or decided that it should exercise a level of latitude to try to cover a law that in some places made some sense. in doing so, they're really hearing from one side. there is no one out there lobbying the treasury department to make the taxes more stringent. 99.99% of their meetings are with representatives for companies that are seeking the taxes to be cut. >> and they all, each company, makes the case that, oh, you don't understand how my company works. that might be okay for some other kind of company, but this particular company, if you tax us this way, it will crush us this way. each of them are making that argument all the time. >> yeah, or the intention of congress was not to tax these types of transactions. these types of transactions aren't meant to avoid or dodge taxes, these are transactions we have to do in the course of or r regular business day, they have nothing to do with dodging taxes and there may be some legitimacy to those arguments, tha
