As mentioned in related threads, please consider the following. Given that the Founding States 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, Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not. But by establishing so-called “independent federal regulatory agencies,” like the FCC (EPA, etc.) corrupt Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of the constitutional statutes referenced above imo.

And to make matters worse, while some of the services provided by the FCC are reasonably needed imo, it remains that the states have never delegated the to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate communications. So not only is Congress delegating powers to non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running the FCC, Congress is delegating powers that it doesn’t have in the first place.

As a side note, consider that that the bill that established the FCC was signed into law by Constitution-ignoring socialist FDR.

Also, it has already been mentioned on this message board that the RINO-controlled House can stop Obama from interfering with FCC by withholding funding for the FCC under Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I, the “purse strings” clause. But regardless that House RINOs have read the Constitution out loud at the beginnings of the 2011, 2013 and 2015 legislative sessions, freepers have already lamented that the RINO-controlled House is essentially a lost cause with respect to doing its duty to protect and defend the Constitution.

Are we having fun yet? 8^P

“Say good bye to Free Republic.
I can promise you 3 people, in country of over 300 million, will shut it down.
Unbelievable....”

More specifically, the three libtards are:

Jessica Rosenworcel: Prior to joining the FCC, she served as Senior Communications Counsel to the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, under the leadership of Senator John D. Rockefeller IV (D–WV). She previously served in the same role on the Committee under the leadership of Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D–HI).[

Mignon Clyburn: Commissioner Clyburn is the daughter of U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn and a member of the Federal Communications Commission. In 2009 she was designated a Women’s History Month Honoree by the National Women’s History Project.

and Thomas Wheeler: During Barack Obama’s presidential campaign Wheeler spent six weeks in Iowa aiding his campaign efforts and went on to raise over US$500,000 for Obama’s campaigns.

No one in the FCC has enough personal pride to stand up for the FCC's long standing tradition of being a body INDEPENDENT of the Executive Branch? WTF?

If the REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED CONGRESS does not take legal action against King Zero and the members of the FCC, I will not vote in any more elections. PERIOD. I've had it.

If the Internet turns into CNN faux facts because of King Hussein, it’s Hillary or Elizabeth in 2016. Amnesty, net neutrality, etc., is about making 2016 a win for the Dems.

This is dictatorship. The Internet isn’t under government control for a regulatory agency to do anything with.

Given the track record of the dumb@ss Republican Leadership in Washington. I will bet we we hear hardly anything about it. The Republican party in Washington is worthless and weak! They are too scared to do anything meaningful.

The Republican Leadership has been compromised. I don't understand why conservatives, like Rush Limbaugh, still believe in the Republican Leadership that has caved to this Administration on most things? It's astounding to me! It's also why I do not waste my time listening to his gibberish anymore.
