Yes, I know they are a bunch of libs but they didn't build great companies without some brains and a lot of lawyers. If this giveaway was dangerous to their health we would hear about it.
But we don't. It's so quiet you can hear ...

“Sleepwalks” . . . they’re always too nice to a collaborating Congress.
Congress has become nothing but a lobbyist/donor playground.
If the sons of bitches could be appointed by lobbyists rather than running election campaigns they would do it.
Not sleepwalking.
Traitorcongress gave aid and comfort and the internet to the enemies of the United States of America.
So—Why do we need to keep the GOP in charge of Congress?
Congress is hopelessly corrupt.
BOTH parties.
The Voters(not congress) should impose Term Limits
This congress us as useless as tits on a bull
Congress = Waffle House

We did in Virgina 7 and I thought once we showed the rest of the country how it’s done a whole bunch of these weasels would be Cantorized.
Unfortunately Wisconsin 1 just missed their chance to get rid of the head weasel.
Just shaking my head. BOTH parties should have represented the sovereignty of this country and our interests.
I know. I’m expecting the unreasonable. :(
This is exactly why the Constitution must be adhered to in spirit as well as by the letter - there will always be corruption and bribes and blackmailed politicians.
We the People should DEMAND the Constitution and the rule of law be strickly followed. That is the starting point to solving many of our problems.
As far as corruption - unless and until this country makes God Almighty their Lord again through Jesus Christ, all three branches of the Federal government and the Courts will remain unscrupulous.
The strength of the Republic as founded is the checks and balances and the rule of law. Both essential and fundamental ideals of liberty are dead. I ultimately blame a populous that is not as bright as it was a hundred years ago. There is no push back to the tyranny and idiocy from all branches of government. Thus, nothing will change as the USA goes into its slow agonizing death spiral. I also pray America awakens.
“Traitorcongress gave aid and comfort and the internet to the enemies of the United States of America.”
BUMP!
CONgre$$, aka The Gang of 535, should be in federal prison.
“they simply did not have the votes to counter plaintive cries of “free us so we can go home to campaign”
cojones is the word that comes to mind.
That's because it isn't the apocalypse that some people want to believe.
All the US did was cede oversight of the organization that controls the root DNS servers.
What are the root DNS servers? They are effectively the global address book, mapping domain names to IP addresses.
You don't normally request information from the root DNS servers. You ask your local DNS server (normally operated by your ISP) for the IP address of freerepublic.com. If your local DNS server doesn't already know it, it asks the root DNS server, then sends it to you. Your local DNS server then keeps the address of freerepublic.com in its cache until it expires automatically.
So, let's pretend that ICANN is unduly influenced by someone in the future to remove "objectionable" websites from the root DNS server. All that means is that it is no longer in the global address list. The website doesn't disappear -- you just need to know is the IP address.
But, how do you know that IP address? The answer: use an alternate DNS server. If ICANN starts censoring the root DNS servers, you can expect alternate DNS services will pop up and provide the "missing" domain names, in addition to everything in the root DNS servers. It's very easy to modify your computer, phone, or home router to use the alternate DNS servers.
Who will operate these alternative DNS servers? There are two already in operation: Google DNS and OpenDNS. You can use them now, and their service is usually superior to the DNS servers operated by your ISP.
I've found that complaints of "my Internet isn't working" is usually caused by a slow DNS at your ISP. The classic symptom: you enter a new website address, and it says: "server not found". You wait a few seconds and try again, and it works. If you are seeing that on a regular basis, try changing your DNS server. Both Google DNS and OpenDNS provide tutorials to do so.
I'm not claiming ceding oversight of ICANN was a good idea. But, it isn't the crisis that many want you to believe. The Internet is far more resilient: it treats censorship as damage, and is easily circumvented.
If it doesn’t stuff their pockets with money they aren’t interested.
I think I had some DNS troubles on Monday.
