>they are because a judge just ruled they are.

but they are not a monopoly according to the Wikipedia definition that I cited in another subthread, and linked to above, though.

and courts can be packed, which, i have been reading, has happened with the us supreme court.

if you want to beleive a wikipedia definition based on historical caselaw, instead of an actual judge's decision, then i guess sure, do whatever you want.

if you're asking how they're a monopoly, i answered you. if you want to debate whether the judge was right or wrong, maybe phrase your question less like a question.
