WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court has ruled that the Federal Communications Commission lacks the authority to require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic flowing over their networks.

Speaking of the EPA, I just received this pass-it-on email:
Protection Agency (EPA) is plotting a new massive job-killer that the American people can’t afford
Obama to Crush Economy with Massive CO2 Taxes as Early as Next Week By Fred Dardick Thursday, April 1, 2010
"Abandoning all loyalty to the democratic processes this nation holds dear, President Obama has made the decision that getting energy tax legislation through Congress with the approval of the American people is just too much of a pain to bother with. Instead he will have the EPA declare as early as next week that CO2 is a dangerous global warming gas and will start regulating its emissions immediately.
Obama’s promise to open up vast stretches of ocean on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico to energy exploration is simply a ruse to soften up the public for soon to be announced draconian regulations.
Similar to how Obama used the $50 million dollar study on healthcare companies competing across state lines to sell ObamaCare as a bipartisan bill, his recent decree allowing energy companies to explore (not drill, not produce energy from … just explore) new stretches of ocean for oil is also meant to be a trivial, yet impressive enough sounding carrot for conservatives right before he stuffs his Marxist trash down their throats.
House Minority Leader John Boehner responded to Obama by saying “At the same time the White House makes today’s announcement, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is plotting a new massive job-killer that the American people can’t afford.” Every American who doesn’t live in a technology adverse commune in California will now pay even more of their hard earned cash to the federal government for absolutely no good reason.
Put simply, it means $8 for a gallon of gas and 2-3 times higher electricity bills. It also means the loss of millions more sorely needed jobs as businesses are hit with higher operating costs and the transfer of whatever remains of our manufacturing sector to China where energy is cheaper and they aren’t so concerned about CO2.
In the first week alone, American businesses estimated that ObamaCare will cost them $14 billion. By most estimates this latest Obama nightmare will be far more expensive and may literally destroy the economy in less than 20 years.
All because of climate science that has been clearly exposed as inaccurate and untrustworthy. Obama may or may not be a communist plant sent to destroy America, but he sure is acting like one."
Does anybody have any doubt that Obama is a communist and his goal is to destroy free market Capitalism and the United States as we know it?
$8 a gallon will be proof the economy is improving! \sarc
Agreed. I think all DemocRATS should be treated exactly as the Baathists were after the Iraq war: outlawed. No holding public office, no schoolboard positions, no teaching, nothing.
Good news. *thumbsup*
It marks a serious setback for the FCC, which needs authority to regulate the Internet in order to push ahead with key parts of its massive national socialist agenda.
Bill O'Reilly
It is for now.
Always remember, tyrants NEVER sleep and neither should we.
It’s great news. Although several months ago, many Freepers didn’t see it that way, as you can probably discern from some of the comments in that old thread.
They were cheering on the government to step in and dictate how private enterprises manage their own network resources. ‘How dare these companies think that they have a say in how they manage their own assets and bandwidth resources! It’s ‘MY’ internet, after all...’ was the jist of it.
This was a win for Lady Liberty today, whether they understand or not.
Thanks
Thanks again world weary.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, really disappointed in O'Reilly lately. His middle of the road style getting old. Hey Bill, we're in a National Crisis. Survival of the United States. . Hellloo. . Are you with us or against us?! And please quit calling us the fringe. We're 70% of the People now, you know, The Folks. . .
The decision is a setback for lawmakers who are trying to legislate net neutrality, also with the assumption that the FCC has the authority to codify such rules. Lawmakers including Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) have been big backers of net neutrality. In the House, Reps. Rick Boucher (D-Va.), Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Edward Markey (D-Mass.) have repeatedly pushed for formal net neutrality rules.
outlawed. No holding public office, no schoolboard positions, no teaching, nothing
Yup. NOTHING!!! Let them take their families and get the #ell out of our country!

“Did you catch the news yesterday about Chavez arresting judges who didn’t rule his way?”
Wow, that’s insane. May as well be Cuba there. INSANE. Did idiot boy sean penn have any comments? IDIOT.
Bill O’Reilly, the rest of FoxNews and the rest of the media are complicit in getting Obama elected by carefully avoiding critical questions of the man and his background and associations during the campaign.
I’m just saying.
Regardless of all that, how long until Zeroman issues an EO giving the FCC authority to regulate broadband? Three, two, one....

He won’t listen to you unless you subscribe to his ‘premium service’ (and not then either!)...lol.

maobama - the most extensive abuse of presidential power - EVER. Repeal of the health fraud is one huge mess. But what about all these EOs and Czars...so many messes to clean up. We need to reign in the power of the POTUS, thanks to bammy’s little socialist lab test.
