Republican FCC Commissioner Slams ‘Obama’s 332-Page Plan To Regulate The Internet’
Republican FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai on Friday raised the first of many criticisms to come about FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s aggressive net neutrality plan distributed to commissioners Thursday, which Pai described as “President Obama’s 332-page plan to regulate the Internet.”
In a statement released Friday, Pai lamented the fact that the 332-page plan, which he tweeted a picture of himself holding next to a picture of Obama, won’t be released to the public until after the commission votes on its implementation later this month.

Another one of those "pass it to find out what's in it" deals...
Can’t believe it’s only 332 pages.
Yep, we are living under tyranny, no doubt whatsoever. We are living under an out of control monster that imposes it’s will on us then allows us to know after they decide how much we are being screwed over. “We’ve decided that you little people will now be living under this whether you want to or not” This is NOT a government for the people by the people, this is TYRANNY and the sheeple just sit back and take it. I say we organize and organize until it gets viral, just get a million or so armed and ready citizens to descend upon Washington and let’s get it on. Enough of this BS. I betting the cops and military aren’t going to take sides against the citizenry and we could forcibly remove and arrest this traitorous pieces of rat filth.
So this will not go through Congress?
So is this a payoff to the media? Regulate the Internet, control content, make it costly, to help fund gov’t and save NYT, WashPo, etc.?
...not gonna stand for this abuse of power any longer!
Not to worry, Nasty Nancy will demand that we pass it to find out what’s in it.
They are afraid of the people. This govt is pure evil . The puppet protecting his rich, evil masters.
The FCC has oversight by Congress. But they can issue decrees like Obama and who is going to stop them. If carriers sue and it goes to the SC I am not clear how they would rule but not sure we could count on any help there.
The Bushes love it too. He is a puppet.
What Congress. Hasn't stopped anything much yet, why think they can stop this?
Don’t worry I’m sure the GOP controlled Congress will put a stop to this. (sarc)
How long before we say good-bye to Ajit Pai?
If you want to annoy conservatives, tell them a lie.
If you want to annoy liberals, tell them the truth.

He may just disappear like the Gallup CEO. Der Fuhrer does not like disagreement...because it is for the greater good
But the won't.
Ever wonder why?
You're kidding, right?
The FCC is redefining the 1934 Communications Act to claim the authority to regulate the Internet as a Public Utility.
Never in our history has anyone ever attempted such foolishness.
And, it's extremely dangerous.
Simply dust off an old law that hasn't been repealed, one which is obliquely, at best, related to the subject at hand...and claim it applies as a result of legal interpretation.
Then carry out official acts as if it is the law of the land.
We've crossed the Rubicon.
So the question is, who goes to Prison when the Adults take over.
Regulate the Internet or co-opt the Internet?
Big Brother doesn’t want the proles talking to one another.
