Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday lost his last-minute bid for a court injunction to prevent the federal government from transferring its oversight of internet registrations to an international body.
Hours before the transition was set to take effect, a federal judge in Galveston ruled against Paxton and three other state attorneys general who had asked him to temporarily halt the transfer while they pursue a lawsuit challenging it. The four sued the federal government late Wednesday after Republicans in Congress, led by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, failed to halt the transfer.
At midnight Friday, the United States is set to cede control of the internet's domain system — essentially its address book — to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. Critics say the move could open up the internet to censorship by unfriendly countries, while administration officials and many tech industry heavyweights say such concerns are misinformed.
Among other things, Paxton's lawsuit argues the move violates the property clause of the U.S. Constitution by giving away government property without congressional authorization. In a response to the lawsuit earlier Friday, the federal government criticized it as a last-ditch effort to stop something that has been years in the making — with everyone involved "fully aware" of it.
The ruling by Judge George C. Hanks Jr. came after a hearing in Galveston that lasted more than an hour. His reasoning was not immediately known.
Watch for consrvative news sites be shut down...just like in Commie China.
Drudge, Breitbart. Gatway Pundit, etc are in the crosshairs of the globalists/marxists.
CW2 developing...

No no...some techie Freepers assured me it is much ado about nothing...they have many years of IT experience...
If you like your internet, you can keep your internet.
I don’t know why or how this judge was chosen...Maybe he was only one with time on docket..perhaps he is the one for the region...I don’t know...Perhaps you can tweet him and ask
As for me, I have spent days on this issue trying to get folks aware, to get them to call—I even called Paxton’s office yesterday...Obviously, not enough...
But I am done.
Enjoy the thread to let off some steam...
Then try “DHS or Democratic Underground Militia.” Or something like that. It would work.
Wait are you criticizing me???
They waited until the last minute. A true Kabuki theater move.
Why did Paxton eve try? Didn’t Lyn’ Ted say he would stop it? Another Senate failure brought to us by Lyn’ Ted.
Right now I'm rootin' for the hacker kids to unleash chaos on the fascist bastards behind this.
I truly regret not having the requisite skills to join them . . .
That would be a HAM radio, hussein.
I'm sure our masters thought of that. That will be illegal.
This is preventable with an appeal. State attorney General offices can sue.
This morning the judge asked for a delay. This evening he denies Paxton’s argument.
This is not over just because tomorrow is October 1st.
Nothing will be decided in the heat of a presidential battle.
(Unless of course Congress is not convinced this is a sky-is-falling event in the first place, but conjecture.)
The average Joe, on this subject, doesn’t really know what is true from what is false.
You did and thank you.
I am smarting from the fact that we work for them now, not vica versa.
They have their kingdoms and they are building moats.
Welcome to ObamaNet
The Coup has happened.
*******************
The coup happened Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when all of our elected and appointed oath takers failed to uphold the Constitution and swore in a man who was not a natural born citizen.
They all knew he was not a natural born citizen and that he was ineligible.

Goodbye free speech and Internet It was nice while it lasted.
It might be nothing tomorrow but in 2 years, 5 years you won’t recognize the Internet
The UN will control Icaan.57 Muslim countries control the UN. These Muslim countries act as a block. They will sooner or later remove sites critical of Islam from search engines which will lead to these websites slowly dying .
This is like a living nightmare.
The world will return to normal.
OK Tom.
Don't ask me how...I don't know this stuff.
I am a macro analyst. I just know that it happens...not how.
Eisenhower didn't understand the mechanics behind the engines that drove the landing craft onto the shores at Normandy. But he did understand the forces within men who desired freedom and righteousness...and how those forces could be used--would be used--to free a continent from tyranny.
Why did they go before an Obama judge?
