I wrote both Senator Rubio and my representative to point out they broke the APA. This is the kind of thing that lawyers salivate over. I think everyone who writes their congress critters should bring it up. <br /><br />Not that I think it's any more likely than Eric Holder being put on trial for his part in F&F, but I can see an argument that those commissioners should be fired. At least hearings in the committee that oversees the FCC. <br /><br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-20319239515055033392015-03-01T10:10:48.815-05:002015-03-01T10:10:48.815-05:00I would merely note that NOT EVEN ONE "Law En...I would merely note that NOT EVEN ONE "Law Enforcement" officer in this entire nation can be bothered to honor their very oath of office. For that oath is to the Constitution, which is the overarching authority for EVERY "law" in this country.<br /><br />Or just how long do you think Obama and the REST of the swill would last if "Law Enforcement" merely stood aside instead of playing Praetorian Guard in the very worst sense of the term?

Typically in the spring/summer/fall we travel in our RV and I spend very little time on the internet. I'm happier, feel more productive and don't miss it when I have other things to do. If some of the things I have heard about net neutrality turn out to be true I think I will back away from it. I do like to read and maybe it's time to stop wasting my time.

There has to be a process for that, too. If they violated the process, they'd get prosecuted (since they're conservatives) and spend time in jail. If it was Filly Mignon Cliburn revealing something, nothing would happen. She's a liberal. <br /><br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-83195728867181664932015-02-28T04:16:11.981-05:002015-02-28T04:16:11.981-05:00Since when has 'the law' mattered to peopl...Since when has 'the law' mattered to people seeking power. The law is merely a tool to be used against their enemies when convenient, otherwise it's not even a minor annoyance anymore.<br />Virtually EVERYTHING the current regime has done is in direct proveable violation of numerous laws, regulations and court rulings to say nothing about the Constitution itself. Doesn't matter. They do what they want BECAUSE THEY CAN. And they will continue to do as they wish till they are stopped by force of arms.<br />Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-19707838573959861392015-02-28T01:27:36.308-05:002015-02-28T01:27:36.308-05:00The fact that this apparent power grab occurred ...The fact that this apparent power grab occurred nearly simultaneously with the BATF's ban on green tip 5.56 ammo is a troubling coincidence. <br /><br />The chilling comments from Pai and O'Reilly beg the question - if it is as bad as they imply, why did the two not release the document to the pubic before the vote? They could be confident they were going to lose - the other three officials are Dems. This was a fait d'accompli; of that they were sure. If the rules are that draconian, the public outrage would have made the FCC scurry into a hole.....perhaps the fix was in.<br /><br />Let's hope that the rules are merely annoying. That said, anyone who's paying attention knows that control of speech is the goal. It's merely a matter of time.<br /><br />I'm done with the Republican Party. There is only one party now, and has been for longer than most of us are willing to admit. 1988 sounds about right to me.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-35302034259753326832015-02-27T22:28:00.037-05:002015-02-27T22:28:00.037-05:00Yep, MAJOR suckage there.
