Isn't it amazing how many Freepers with conservative sounding handles have this knee jerk reaction that everything that can be regulated needs to be regulated by the federal government. The Feds can't do much of anything efficiently or competently. IMO if a signal is non commercial and is not intended to cross state lines and does not interfere with a licensed radio station's intended frequency range, then the Feds have no jurisdiction to shut it down.

The only regulatory authorization for this shutdown was the commerce clause. Liberals have used that clause to justify all manner of federal tyranny and unless we draw a line in the sand somewhere (like Bunkerville Nevada) they are going to continue to strangle our liberty at every turn.

If you are arguing the Feds should have no authority here, then you just shot yourself down because this was a commercial radio station. Furthermore, if a station were to be "non commercial" (whatever that means), their signal could intrude on a commercial station's coverage area if not regulated.

If you are suggesting this makes me "non-conservative," then FU if you think you are the arbiter of what's conservative.
