Get the GOP House to pass a law against this and let the Senate Dems blow it.

the FCC was working with activists

Shouldn't this just be presumed for every government power grab?

It comes from the presumptuous philosophy that government can make us safe.

That will work until a few weeks later when some idiot says, “There oughta be a law” and some bureaucrat hears him. Let private property rights govern the spectrum. Good bye FCC and don’t come back.

“...As an independent, expert agency, the FCC...”

I’d like to see how they are believed to be an ‘expert’. By their OWN authority? You’d think EXPERTS could define ‘pornography’ vs. ‘art’ vs. 1st Amendment vs. ....for instance.

And NOBODY in D.C. in independent; it all works for the benefit of...D.C. They, and the rest, know where their bread is buttered (from our wallets, but I digress).

What I find most worrisome is implementation of an ‘Internet ID#’ one would use to access internet. Use of passwords would be eliminated but individuals could EASILY be tracked and traced by the gov’t. ‘Internet ID#’ such as SSN or some other number issued to each user by the gov’t MUST BE FOUGHT AT EVERY TURN. Anonymous postings would be impossible in this scenario.
