"THE FCC JUST VOTED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE INTERNET"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
FCC has been added to the list of post-FDR era, politically correct but unconstitutional federal government regulators (read: stolen state powers) imo.
"Article I, Section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives [and non-popularly-elected bureaucrats running Federal Reserve, IRS, EPA, BLM, FDA, NIH, CDC, FWS, DHS, DOL, USDA, FCC, etc.]"
The FCC is just another example of post-17th Amendment ratification career federal lawmakers protecting their voting records by letting a constitutionally undefined federal regulatory agency run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats get away with stealing state powers to dictate unconstitutional federal government policies.
More specifically, given that Internet businesses are based on contracts, not commerce (correction welcome), the post-Civil War Supreme Court had clarified in Paul v. Virginia that contracts are not commerce, the federal government therefore having no Commerce Clause power (1.8.3) to regulate contracts.
”4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract [emphases added] of indemnity against loss.” —Paul v. Virginia, 1869.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

You are correct. Time to repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the senior executive service.
