DeMint vows to reverse FCC’s ‘Internet takeover’

Sen. Jim DeMint, R-SC, says Federal Communications Commission should be renamed the "Fabricating a Crisis Commission," following a vote by the panel's three Democrats to approve proposed rules that amount to a hostile takeover of the Internet by a government agency acting illegally.

The proposal - misleadingly described by proponents as an attempt to insure "net neutrality" by guaranteeing equal access to the Internet - was introduced a year ago by Julius Genachowski, President Obama's appointee as FCC chairman.

A federal court has ruled that the commission has no authority to regulate the Internet, and a bipartisan group of senators and representives warned Genechowski not to attempt to impose a regulatory regime on the Internet earlier this year.

Argh! Spellcheck is our friend.

iplement = implement

And before spell check, there was proof reading. On FR there's even a "Preview" button.

"net nuetrality"

This is the first shot in the salvo to limit 'equal time' for leftist rants compared to the truth. Wait and see, and they will be attacking sites like FR for being "biased", "racist", etc., and they (the FCC) are already attacking talk radio.

This was a special interest ruling to accomodate Google, and others, which filter un-flattering conservative views and facts already.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

“First problem with the FCC’s adoption of net neutrality is the fact they have no authority to pass or iplement their rules, i.e., it’s unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has explicitly stated the FCC may not assume legal authority to implement net neutrailty and Congress has also refused to grant them the authority to do so.”

Well said, Freeper. Short and straight to the point.

That should be on billboards across the country so the useful idiots wake up before they’re hauled off to camps!
