An Internet Kill Switch is an Economy Kill Switch.

The bipartisan bill is sponsored by Maine Sen. Susan Collins...

Bipartisan my ass, she's a full fledged socialist/marxist that sides with the enemy every time!

Such tyranny! I believe these are the end times. In the old days, people fled from tyranny to the new continent. Where to now?

This doesn’t have a prayer - there’s no way such legislature would make it through the House - especially now.

This would be tantamount to giving the president the power to confiscate all guns.

COMPLETELY, AND EMPHATICALLY, UNCONSTITUTIONAL! This president has assumed more power than any previous president! The president should not even have the power to appoint members to the SCOTUS. And these appointments should not be lifetime. Where did the righteous power of the people go? GROW TEA PARTY!

The bill on its face is Unconstitutional since regulating communications is not an enumerated power granted to Congress in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution!!!

Our leadership class is frightened of what is out here. They know we despise them. By such legislation they want to be able to control communications when all hell breaks loose against their governmental malpractice. The Egyptian government response with regard to the internet is evidence of what the leadership class plans as a last ditch effort to maintain power.

I sure hope this doesn’t even come up for a vote in the House.

He could attempt to do so. Whether he in actuality were capable of doing so is a quite different matter.

THEY CANNOT "PROTECT" SOMETHING
BY KILLING IT

The DNC and RINOs are planning to drive America to a
civil war as they destroy the last threads of the US Constitution.

I see none fleeing from tyranny in our history...?

Once this proposed legislature gets properly exposed it will face opposition not just from the right but the left as well.

Probably more so. Right now the president is democrat, but the left would have a hissy fit giving such power to a republican president.

I hope he tries.

Ask Obama what percentage of his base uses the internet daily? He’s a boomer, so he probably has someone do it all for him.

More of us need to do what you’re planning - knowledge of Morse Code isn’t required now - that makes it easier.

“The bipartisan bill is sponsored by Maine Sen. Susan Collins, the ranking Republican on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.”

That single sentence, all by itself, makes me want to puke.
