USA judges are very biased, if they weren't there would be no reason to appeal things to the 5th circuit, have it fail there and have to appeal it to the supreme court.

Maybe so but it's a Gaming lawsuit, I doubt many will care about dying on this hill, Lol.

We have both Democrat and Republican Senators who want the deal to go through as well and I've no doubt some are silently hoping it goes through as well such as Schumer who shortly after the deal was announced starting asking Microsoft to invest in New York Tech & Gaming, Lol.

We've a Democrat appointed judge already dismissing a lot of the arguments which the FTC will use so that will also set a precedence, Republican appointed judges will care even less.

Microsoft was planning on closing the deal if CMA approved which meant FTC would be forced to take Microsoft to federal court, that is how confident Microsoft was at beating the FTC in court, but of course that hasn't panned out now thanks to CMA.

FTC has no power, they're just an annoying distraction.

I wouldn't say the FTC has no power, they have actually flat out closed down some business in the last few years under Biden's appointed ftc chair Linda Kahn.  Senators like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren tweeted they were happy with the ftc blocking the deal.
