From the Washington Examiner:
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-SC, says Federal Communications Commission should be renamed the “Fabricating a Crisis Commission,” following a vote by the panel’s three Democrats to approve proposed rules that amount to a hostile takeover of the Internet by a government agency acting illegally.
The proposal – misleadingly described by proponents as an attempt to insure “net neutrality” by guaranteeing equal access to the Internet – was introduced a year ago by Julius Genachowski, President Obama’s appointee as FCC chairman.
A federal court has ruled that the commission has no authority to regulate the Internet, and a bipartisan group of senators and representives warned Genechowski not to attempt to impose a regulatory regime on the Internet earlier this year….
It is rather insane for the FCC to do this – the courts and Congress have strongly indicated that the FCC has no business doing this. The only explanation of it is that the Democrats, being by default Statists, just figure they can’t have anything out there being uncontrolled by government. Everyone has access to the internet – heck, if I’m on here, then anyone can be on here.
We must roll this back – and, in fact, this would be an excellent first step in curbing government and starting to re-establish Constitutional government. The liberals on the FCC will rue the day they made this step too far.
