I heard all the belly aching about Obama and the Fairness Doctrine having 60 votes in the Senate and all he really has to do is have 3 votes on the FCC board.

I don't think it has really set in just how serious this is going to get and how quick. The SCOTUS judges he pick will give us thrills for the next 30 years. He already has several executive orders written up for the first week. One of which will reinstate the drilling ban offshore. The loss in congress was terrible, but he can do irreversible damage with the stroke of a pen.

When it comes to the censorship doctrine, or whatever you want to call it, my concern is that he’ll not only do it silently through the FCC board as you’re right to expect, but attempt to make it more permanent through an act of congress afterwards. That way it will take a lot more than just a new president to undo his changes. They know how it went down last time and there’s no way they’re going to make it as easy for a Reagan-esque president to dismantel it in the future.
