Vanity - Former US Atty Joe DiGenova: Net Neutrality will not survive court challenge

Posted on 03/02/2015 9:15:42 AM PST by Perdogg

Speaking on WMAL this morning former US Atty and high powered DC lawyer Joe DiGenova said the FCC Net Neutrality rules will never come to be since they will never survive a court challenge. He added that "standing will never be an issue."

He also believes that Gowdy's committe has damaging emails on HRC over Benghazi.

Rep. Gowdy, don't release this information until one month before the election.

Acorrding to DiGenova, the FOIA was granted to JW because the committe had the emails.

Anymore, I would not bet the farm on that.

Remember, the SC was supposed to do that with Obamacare.

The SC can ‘pretzel’ a decision that makes Net Neutrality happen.

There is historical precedent for the fecklessness of the SC, such as Dred Scott, Plessy, and Korematsu.

The FCC itself is an unconstitutional federal entity (where does the Constitution give such power to the feds?) and their net neutrality is also unconstitutional.

It is plainly obvious the Commerce Clause was never meant by the ratifiers of the Constitution to give the feds unlimited powers the Left has given it. The Commerce Clause was meant to be limited to resolving interstate commerce issues and conflicts between the states.

The Left and the feds have effectively nullified the Constitution and it is up to the states and the people to nullify unconstitutional federal acts including this one if it doesn’t get shot down by the courts

Yes, a majority of the Supreme Court, including Roberts, held exactly that in the first Obamacare decision.

It may not survive the initial court challenge, but it will survive when it reaches the Kings Court.

Exactly. The FCC licenses some to broadcast, and withholds the right from me.

That is just as unconstitutional as licensing printers. The framers and ratifiers of the Constitution expected and supported "the progress of science and useful arts,” and broadcasting fits nicely into that category.

Therefore it is unjustified to claim that, since the framers didn’t write Jules Verne stories about broadcasting, the framers didn’t take such a development into account. They did.

Provision for handling that case - if indeed “Net Neutrality” is a solution to a real problem - is to be found in the Constitution. I think you will find that Article V covers it completely . . .

No, that wasn't his "exact" ruling - at all.
