Paramount says it will take the Warner Bros merger to the Supreme Court if states block the deal

Paramount plans to proceed with its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery despite a lawsuit from 12 states aiming to block the deal on antitrust grounds. Paramount's legal team is prepared to escalate the case to the Supreme Court if necessary, while the states argue the merger would reduce competition and harm consumers. The deal has already been cleared by the federal Justice Department, highlighting a conflict between state and federal regulators.
