Judicial Darth Vaders strike again

The U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. ruled today that the FCC lacks authority to require broadband ISP's to practice 'Net neutrality.

But I ruled today that it doesn't.

The FCC clearly has this authority, because that was supposed to be the FCC's whole reason for being. If the FCC can shut down Tantrum 95.7 because some Nazi told it to, then it can DAMN SURE tell ISP's they have to follow 'Net neutrality rules.

This case surrounded Comcast's interference with customers who used file sharing services.

This court's decision strikes at the very core of social science. As a sovereign people, we are endowed with the right to rein in corporations with reasonable measures. Today the court swung a hatchet at our very rights. The panel of judges also decimated the Obama administration's 'Net neutrality plans.

So this is one ruling that ought to be defied. If the FCC won't, then the states need to stand up and require 'Net neutrality.
