Let the fines commence.

This is all about the money.

The statists ignore the law of unintended consequences at their own peril.

The Obama Administration has no interest in stimulating the economy or in creating jobs. Their goal is to hurt American business and weaken the nation.

Can Congress overturn this? How does the FCC have this authority?

We tried it you little people’s way.

And we found out that you say things we ruling elitists don’t agree with.

So we’re going to take your free speech.

When you learn how to use it, then you can have it back.

Now pay your taxes, we need a raise. :)

The 112th House should DEFUND the FCC until they repeal this rule. Let’s see how the GOP stands up to unpopular opinions and instead rules on PRINCIPLE.

Another nail in the coffin of the quaint doctrine of “Separation of Powers” as a model of governance.

Obama, like the Supreme Court, has usurped the legislative process and both parties have acquiesced.

According to this article, the new rules “prohibit phone and cable companies from abusing their control over broadband connections to discriminate against rival content or services, such as Internet phone calls or online video, or play favorites with Web traffic”

How is that a bad thing? Is there more to “net neutrality” than that?

The Courts have overturned this once and will certainly do so again. The FCC has no jurisdiction or authority to regulate the internet.

I keep waiting for the call to come out for TEA PARTY to descend on the District of Corruption. My pitchfork is ready.

When will we as a nation say enough is enough and do something about it?

Technically, this is unenforceable. If the FCC would try to force AT&T to change their business model, AT&T would easily win in court (via recent USSC ruling).

Practically, if the Obama administration cannot get its way in court, it will resort to Chicago-style politics.

This is a blatant disregard for the separation of powers. The Executive branch is ignoring the Judicial branch. I hope the GOP House is ready to play hardball.
