The FCC voted on Net Neutrality, and decided along party lines to place the internet in the same category as other utilities. Theoretically, outside of a post-mortem of the political posturing that lead up to the public vote on the hidden rules, that could be the end of the story – today.

fight from whom, the GOP?
I know nothing of the intracacies of the business Comcast et al, but the insurance co’s didn’t run screaming from obozocare care.
Politicians are only interested in their personal bank account, which is not fattened by the salaries that we pay them, it is fattened by the deals that they make with no regard for the interests of their constituents.
Republicans will rue the day that they did not stand to fight this. The Left intends to use this as a cudgel to bash their brains out. They are so clueless, our elected champions.
If you like your internet, you will be able to keep your internet. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.
I agree, it's not time to quit.
With the Kenyan prince and his daddy, Georgie Soros pimping this, you know it’s bad news for Americans.
Speaking of insurance companies and Obamacare, please consider the following previously posted material. Regardless what Obama’s activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionality of Obamacare, the Supreme Court had historically clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes.
Especially note the fourth entry where the Court clarified that Congress has no constitutional authority to regulate insurance.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
”4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce [emphasis added] within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract of indemnity against loss.” — Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
In fact, regardless that federal Democrats and RINOs will argue that if the Constitution doesn’t say that they can’t do something then they can do it, the Supreme Court has addressed that foolish idea too. Politically correct interpretations of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause aside, the Court has clarified in broad terms that powers not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate healthcare in this case, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
They just voted for it ,you will not find out what’s in it until you break their rules and are beheaded
bttt.
The fight has only just begun.
And let's not forget that THAT is what the unauthorized $3 Billion is all about...
Yes.
And another thing I forgot to mention, that the big insurance companies are also promised a taxpayer bailout if they go into the red. At least for the first few years.
ObamaCare is a wonderful example of Fascist-variety Socialist economics, where Gvt really directs the show but the means of production (or delivery of services) remains in private hands.
So, of course, the insurance companies played ball when presented with what amounted to a no-risk windfall.
