But she's not making new laws here. She's declaring that they're breaking old laws that already exist - and a huge portion of the public case she's presenting is "well, I don't like how they're using their power". It's like seeing a DA indict a guy for murder, and then deliver a bunch of press conferences about how he's a greedy businessman who'll no longer be able to get away with overcharging the public for poor quality services.

The example you gave is disingenuous. The reasons to not like Google go hand in hand with their position as a monopoly or member of an oligopoly.

Whatever your opinion is on which way the issue should go, I think we'd be far better off if every single senator had an explicit stance on the issue.
