It's a pointless distinction (when looking/wishing for a change). The gov't IS mandated to regulate/investigate anti-trust issues. How they go about that (or how far-reaching their "jurisdiction" goes) might be up for debate, but their mandate is not. Regardless; the correct course of action is not to wish the gov't would simply stop doing what they interpret as "their job," but rather to change/clarify the legislation that gives them their mandate (however loosely you think it might be being interpreted) in the first place.
