Who decides what is the appropriate “opposing site”?

And who decides what is the appropriate “opposing view”?

This assumes that there is such a thing as an opposing view, and not a nearly infinite spectrum of ideas.

Good one. Of course that’s a pretty complicated example, for lefties to grasp. Of they probably think we really screwed up by using force to gain our freedom too.

Sorry, I had written "Of course they, and sought to just say they, but didn't back space far enough, and capitalize the "T" in they.

Sunstein needs to spend some time in a rubber room.

I wonder if the issue of Kagan's admiration for this one-world government socialist will come up at the hearings. Probably not.

We are one vote away from the confiscation of every privately owned gun.

We are one vote away from the complete Stalinist eradication of every Christian symbol from public life.

We are one vote away from the insane notion that the Constitution guarantees full and complete health care, a home and a job to everyone who wants one.

We are one vote away from the forced governmental dismantling of the First Amendment, through every medium including the internet and the radio.

We are one vote away from New Haven Fire Fighters becoming the law of the land, when your child’s grades, years of study, and hard work are thrown down the sewer of political correctness if the racial outcome does not meet the pyscho-left’s definition of racial equality.

We are one vote away from the eradication of property rights.

We are one vote away from the takeover of private industry by the government.

We are one vote away from mandated sterilizations and the decree that humans and their breath are a form of pollution.

We are one vote away from Big Brother - just one, and they will not relent because these appointments are of a very extremist nature with a leftist political agenda. They mean to change America through the will of leftist judges - and not through the ballot box because their ideology is rejected.

Our sacred Bill of Rights will be gone. The power of the State will not be stopped.

And the Repubs don’t think this appointment merits a filibuster. Net neutrality makes me sick. They could force you to look at the linked opposing opinion site with a pop up or some other script. Can you friggin’ imagine how that would work on Free Republic? Please someone find out something about this Kagan POS that would eliminate her from consideration SINCE THE REPUBLICANS ARE TOO LAZY OR CO-OPTED TO STOP HER. This is really really bad news and it is only the beginning of the censorship from these creeps.

Everyone, do we just chat about the possible outcome, or do we do what our Forefathers and patriots of yore did?

I’d rather fight than chat...get your spine and balls in gear, your courage intact, prayers in order and STOP THE ENEMY. PERIOD. Who will be our General U.S. Grant, our General Dwight Eisenhower, our????

We know what we’re up against. Let’s get to work.

Which ISP is paying Elena Kagan, and by how much? Which ISP is paying Cass Sunstein, and by how much? Which ISP is paying Rush Limbaugh, and by how much?

This is how an astroturf movement works. You pay the organizations to convince others of your view, hiding your involvement. Plus it is likely that Limbaugh is against the left's "internet fairness doctrine" under the name net neutrality, and not net neutrality itself. He is a content provider, and would be one of those who would have to pay the ISPs if they got their way.

No, Rush, that is fairness doctrine. Net neutrality has nothing to do with content. In fact, it requires being blind to content. Let's make it simple:

If net neutrality were the law, fairness doctrine would be illegal.

-——————This is how an astroturf movement works.-——————

This isn’t the only way astroturf movements work. Astroturf organizations like ABC or CNN or NYT or WaPo are quite different.

-—————Plus it is likely that Limbaugh is against the left’s “internet fairness doctrine” under the name net neutrality, and not net neutrality itself.-——————

At this point, that’s the only net neutrality that’s left standing.

That’s the net neutrality I oppose.

That’s the net neutrality they want.

And it’s the net neutrality you should oppose too.

-------------Net neutrality has nothing to do with content.------------

I don't see how you can say that.

The left is practically in your face telling you straight up that they want to silence you and you've got your fingers in your ears.

Why won't you listen to them? It's not like they're even trying to beat around the bush here. They're being quite open about it. What's so seductive about ignoring all of this?
