I doubt that Republicans are capable of blocking anything. With 11 or 12 liberal Republicans siding with the Democrats no conservative oriented legislation will see the light of day. I hate sounding pessamistic but it’s a fact...

the new congress needs to cut off ALL funds to these tyrants. I don’t mean a reduction I mean no money at all. they obviously aren’t trustworthy nor are they doing the job they’re supposed to
To: FormerACLUmember
They were also going to filibuster DADT, and the Start treaty. I have lost all confidence in them.

What would be required for these three FCC members to be held in contempt (of court, of course. Already held in contempt...)?
To: FormerACLUmember
Don’t forget the EPA and Dept. of Education.

"The FCC is attempting to push excessive government regulation of the Internet through without congressional authority... This is the same exact thing the FCC did when cellular was initially being deployed. The FCC's idiocy, incompetency and inaction delayed the switch to digital cellular in this country by almost ten years. Nothing good will come of this, I assure everyone. I have a lot of first hand experience dealing with the FCC clowns and it ain't pretty. I have yet to talk to anyone at the FCC who remotely understands the technology.

Even though I fully realize the news media has become nothing more than an organ of the state, still it amazes me how quiet they've has been about this.
This was an epic power grab by the FCC.

That may take years. The shutdown of dissenting voices is scheduled for early 2012, at the latest.

Defund the FCC!!If you defund the FCC, how will they protect the children from pornography on TV in prime time! Surely, you don't think that's the parents' responsibility.
Seriously. Defunding and abolishing the FCC is the way to go. It has been used over and over as a tool of tyranny. It's supposed "legitimate" purpose is garbage as well. Why is the government needed to license things discovered in nature? The regulation of the airwaves, as far as I can figure, stagnated innovation.

But Gallant said a legal challenge posed a more serious risk, citing concerns from commissioners in both political parties. Don't lose hope. There are Democrats willing to cross over, too.
