Doubt this has a chance in hell of passing the U.S. House Republicans....at least I hope so.
The proposed bill would allow a President by executive order to declare a "national cyberemergency," and prohibit any review by the court system. The only remedy would be to appeal to the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Regardless if the President is a Democrat or Republican there is no justification to prohibit judicial review. Maybe the Senate thinks we just need a DICTATOR rather than a Representative Republic.
November 6, 2012 can't set here soon enough.

You don't suppose the mainstream media would have a vested interest in "killing" the internet, would you? I mean it's definitely hurt their viewer/reader/listenership and their ad dollars.
I think that they are the ones who are pushing it. Obama will probably capitulate as a reward for all of the cover-up they have, (and will have), provided him.
We'd better fight it, it's the only avenue we've got left for some semblance of freedom of speech.

Doubt this has a chance in hell of passing the U.S. House Republicans....at least I hope so. Sure. Just like, "they" will never ban smoking, mandate health insurance, force us to wear seat belts, get permission to walk, talk, smell, think, shave, sh!t, you name it!
NEVER TRUST!

The Feds already have this control over telephone and television and radio via the Defense Communications Agency.
Upon Declaration by POTUS, they assume control. It's been in place since WWII or thereabouts.

My question is, do these fools realize the internet was designed in such a way that you can't shut it down? Even the root DNS backbone servers are on different continents to prevent a complete outage. Oh, you can slow it down, but several attempts to do a Denial of Service on the backbone have all failed.

Congress as a whole does not give a damn about killing anything. What they don’t want is killing the financial golden goose to fast.
