...the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to Congress the specific power to do what the FCC is doing imo.

I think the Commerce Clause did that for them.

I agree that the issue of Congress delegating the power to the Executive is material.

Thank you for replying semimojo.

"I think the Commerce Clause did that for them."

Respectfully, please clarify what the commerce is in this example.

Given that electronic media didn’t exist when Constitution was ratified, I don’t see constitutionality of federal regulation of it.

Even if electronic media existed, feds still need constitutionally express powers.

I think we agree that Congress is wrongly letting non-elected federal officials get away with exercising federal legislative powers, wrongly nullifying voting power by doing so imo.
