(This just in)

The unconstitutional regulatory branch of government is destroying us.

[mowowie]

I imagine that FR will now be forced to show Planned Parenthood etc. ads now.

[Lucky9teen]

As an independent U.S. government agency overseen by Congress, since when are they allowed to make law?

As well, when will their overseer (Congress) actually over see this BS?

From the FCC website:
Whenever Congress enacts a law affecting telecommunications, the FCC starts a proceeding to create the rules and policies required by the new law. The commission also may start a proceeding when an outside party files a petition seeking a new law or change in existing rules. Learn more about the rulemaking process and rulemakings in general.

I don't recall Congress making a law for Net Neutrality. And I did they even follow their own process, and allow the public to comment? They really should be calling it Net Neuter.

[Buckeye McFrog]

They could accomplish that goal in less than a paragraph.

This regulation runs 314 pages. What’s in the rest of it?

[xzins]

Let us see the rules and we’ll be able to determine if they involve only “biggies running rough shod over the little guy.”

[rockinqsranch]

What right have they to create such regulations? They have the right to do so, because the Congress years ago during Jimmy Carter era abdicated their responsibilities to leftist entrenched bureaucracies, and even as they see, and know what a boondoggle that act was have never retaken their constitutional responsibilities to we the people back from those leftist bureaucrats.

The Democrats are taking advantage of that precedence, and our alleged representation sit on their thumbs.

[Amendment10]

Regardless that the FCC voted to approve internet rules, it remains that the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, to clarify that all federal legislative (regulatory) powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running the FCC. So Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not.

And by delegating federal legislative powers to third-party bureaucrats, RINO-controlled Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of the clauses referenced above imo.

Federal regulators voted Thursday to impose sweeping net neutrality rules that supporters say are critical to protecting the freedom of the Internet.

Regulators + rules = freedom?

Major contradiction in the first senstence.

[DoughtyOne]

The government steps in to fix yet another (what it sees as a) problem.

This is the end of the decent internet.

Down hill from here, and gaining speed.

[DoughtyOne]

One of the big problems I see here is this.

The U. S. leadership can’t wait to give away control of the internet. So whatever the European Union wants, it will get.

In steps the U. S. F. C. C. to fix things, and it will. It will implement every hair-brained idea out of Europe.

And what’s more, the U. S. F. C. C. will simply say it’s complying with internet regulations. This is all the cover it will need to destroy the positive political aspects of the internet..., and much more.

Essentially, our internet won’t be any more sovereign than our present nation is. As I said, it’s down hill from here, and gaining speed.

[b4its2late]

Of course it did. Banning ammo next on the docket.....

[hattend]

In a party-line 3-2 vote... Jessica Rosenworcel, one of the FCC's three Democratic commissioners.

How does the Pubbie party win both House and Senate and the Dems still maintain a majority of Commissars?

This was "along party lines" so should I believe this would have died if the Pubs had a 3 to 2 majority?

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

This article reads like it was written by Pravda. I like the part about the three democrats being greated by a standing ovation as they entered the room.

Hitler was greated by standing ovations when he entered the room.

[Jim Noble]

supporters said that the tough new rules would be a strong bulwark to prevent people from being abused online

That's really all you need to know - that, and the definition of "abuse", which unquestionably will mean questioning global warming, or "Obama", or HRC, or speaking up for normalcy, or....

[Organic Panic]

Trust us - US FCC

And in unrelated news Jay Carney was hired to be an executive at Amazon. Now we know how the payoffs will be. Payoff the feds and get your bandwidth. Who are the idiots that really believe 3 people will be able to control the entire internet? IDIOT liberals that’s who. The pipeline owners aren’t going to bring us all up to the same speed as Netflix. They will bring us all down to the dial up speeds to what Obama has defined as fair. Now that the FCC rules the internet goodbye non PC politically connected websites. It will all be regulated now. Next week amnesty will be passed and millions of illegals will vote in ‘16

I never thought I would see such things in my life. But sure enough, generations of preparing a puppet like Obama and in 2 short terms with marxist statists in charge this country has been badly damaged and will not be repaired in my lifetime.

[SengirV]

How you clowns can be in favor of this is beyond me ...

“Just as a newspaper is entitled to decide which content to publish and where, broadband providers may feature some content over others,” - Part of Verizon’s argument in the 2012 case.

The ISPs want to examine EVERYTHING you access on the internet, and then THEY want to determine, in the ISPs best interests, if they are going to allow you to access the data or now.

And you all are in favor of allowing that?

Net Neutrality = ISPs can not screw you over - PERIOD.

[Reagan Man]

Good news is, eventually the courts will strike down most of this government intervention.

The bad news is, prices for internet and cable services will continue to rise.

“Which countries contain the most peaceful, the most moral, and the happiest people?

Those people are found in the countries where the law least interferes with private affairs;
where the government is least felt;
where the individual has the greatest scope,
and free opinion the greatest influence;
where the administrative powers are fewest and simplest;
where taxes are lightest and most nearly equal;
where individuals and groups most actively assume their responsibilities
and, consequently where the morals of human beings are constantly improving;
where trade, assemblies, and associations are the least restricted;
where mankind most nearly follows its own natural inclinations;

in short, the happiest, most moral, most peaceful people are those who most nearly follow this principle: although mankind is not perfect, still all hope rests upon the free and voluntary actions of persons within the limits of right; law or force is to be used for nothing except the administration of universal justice.”

Frederic Bastiat - “The Law”

[Jewbacca]

So, when do they shut down FR?

[Cheerio]

Our Thursday daily dose of America destruction as announced by our unelected Emperor.
