FoxNews you are next in line to be removed from service. He will not stop until you are gone!
I hate Nazis. Now, they are running our country.
Modern day Stamp Tax.
Where is our Sam Adams.
Can it be overturned?
I guess I should learn Morse Code and smoke signals.
ADIOS Internet. Gracias El presidente. We will always vote democrat. -Illegal Aliens.
There is a good chance of a court challenge. I’ve seen this compared to the EPA claiming for itself powers to reclassify certain things as pollutants so they can impose regulations without additional legislation giving them the authority, which the Courts struck down. In this case they don’t have the power to regulate the internet so they voted to reclassify it as something else so they can apply laws that were meant to regulate something else to it.
More like the Sedition Act
Anyone feel like we are being taxed but have no representation?
Everyday, people, another stick in the eye of America.
FCC over reach ping
What I want to know is what is ‘wrong’ with the Internet that requires government intervention to ‘fix’ it ???
No, it doesn't. It gives the FCC the power to decide whether agreements between broadband providers and content providers are "just and reasonable"--which is bad enough, mind you--but it does not give the FCC the power to determine whether content itself is "just and reasonable."
If you like your internet, you will be able to keep your internet. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.
The big problem with FCC is that only the elected members of Congress have the constitutional authority to make laws and regulations based on powers which the states have delegated to the feds expressly via the Constitution. But corrupt, RINO-controlled Congress is choosing to hide behind non-elected FCC bureaucrats with respect to unpopular federal policy concerning interstate electronic communications.
Has the report even been released?
I think the idea is to delay the release, so that they will have enforcement in place to shut down any website that publishes and/ or comments on the rules.
How so typical of the 0bama tyrants, how Kafkaesque. Create secret rules with the force of law; then launch pre-dawn SWAT raids on selected targets. DHS to act as Gestapo enforcement arm.
I wouldn’t expect anything to happen right away. But the regime will act to eliminate opposition when there is a big event that distracts the sheeple.
Doncha know? It’s yet another *crisis* that 0bola HAS to fix....like our “broken” healthcare system, immigration laws, ammo access, etc, etc.
My “just and reasonable” comment is Impeach Obama and rescind this FCC ruling.
I believe that the courts identified their current approach as a way around the approach that the court had struck down, so it may not be a slam dunk that the courts will overturn this. I'm sure much of it will be an overreach, so we'll see how it turns out.
