Discussing the plan that the FCC has refused to let the public see Pai said, “Unfortunately it looks like the cake has been baked. President Obama gave his direction to the FCC in back in early November and lo and behold, the FCC majority has put together President Obama’s plan for Internet regulation. And it looks to be posed pass it on a 3-to-2 vote.”
When asked if the president’s move was an “alarmingly unprecedented direct involvement,” into FCC, Pai agreed, explaining the FCC has been an independent agency since 1934, he said, “When you have a politician shortly after the midterm election deciding to direct the agency to do x, y, z and telling us he wants us to use a particular legal theory to do it you’re in uncharted territory, at least in my experience. I think compromising the independence of the agency is bad enough, but especially when it involves the government control the Internet. That is just a dangerous road for us to travel on.”

All Agencies belong to Obama ,don’t you know
Ted Cruz proved right again.
Just say'n ;-)
I don’t understand how 3 people can control the entire Internet?
How can that possibly be legal and lawful?
What is the drunk Boehner, Chicken little McConnell and the rest of the worthless Republicans doing besides collaborating and cowering to the Administration?
Dictatorship with impunity and ZERO CONGRESSIONAL ACTION to stop it. The Congress had all it needed many years back to impeach him and rid our nation of this horror story.
Emphasis on censorship and power.
Because no one is courageous enough to challenge his majesty.
See this is what happens when you vote for Republicans. They do nothing! On a nationalist level they are worthless!
It’s time for a new party because the Republicans = Democrats.
Just wait until you find out what’s in that 300 + page pile of toilet paper ,hmm will half the internet go dark overnight
Say good bye to Free Republic.
I can promise you 3 people, in country of over 300 million, will shut it down.
Unbelievable....
ZERO CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
Most of these Old Farts have no idea what the internet is anyway
It is about crushing independent thought and liberty as well.
True, but that really doesn’t matter. We let Obama do this and it will never be the same. Free speech and the internet will be dead unless you are a leftist.
Followed by imprisonment, torture and execution.
Because: Totalitarianism (ie - Democrats)
Won’t get any argument out of me.
Remember what the chinese did after the govt banned google?
used with a mirror
It’s like Mark Levin says: “We live in a post constitutional America.” In order to understand this you have to understand that those running this country do not care or even like the constitution.
He’s really ratcheting up into Anti-Christ / Beast mode this last term...
Impeach this turd PLEASE!
