Seven States Pile On To Block AT&T/T-Mobile Deal

An anonymous reader writes "New York, California, and five other U.S. states have joined a lawsuit initiated by the Department of Justice that would block AT&T's merger with T-Mobile. 'The revised filing comes ahead of a court hearing next week, when the two sides are scheduled to discuss the prospects of a settlement. AT&T has said that it will contest the Justice Department's lawsuit, while also seeking a potential settlement.' CNet notes that 'States don't have the power to block the deal, but they can influence the federal regulators and make it more onerous if AT&T attempts to negotiate for concessions to close the deal. They can also slow down the process with their own lawsuits.'"

Language mastery is talking in a manner that effectively conveys the idea. Using "who" is preferred because only jackasses like you use whom, and only mentally ill people (OCD and such) actually correct someone for using something correctly. So, to convey the idea effectively and not look like a jackass, use "who" just like the millions of other native speakers do.
