Interesting. It all sounds pretty good, but I still wonder how this can be abused.

Good! Also, isn't this the point? Upholding 10th amendment?

Republicans don't like this type of states rights, so they'll step in.

This is exactly what Republicans like. Handle it at the state level.

Yep, great! From Seattle. Same assholes that tried to ram a “anti-transparency” bill through last week, gov vetoed. Not to detract from this

Comcast in WA still does a form of throttling. If you go over 1024 GB of data they charge you extra. Up to $200 more. Don't worry though.1/2

I was assured it wouldn't go over $200. Because they have my financial interest at heart. 2/2

States rights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

States no longer have rights. We settled that during the Civil War.

I’m doomed. I live in a state where no one seems to understand how the internet actually works. Ohio, why?!

I'm pretty pro gun rights but the NRA are just cartoonistly evil. They do little more then fear monger and launder political donations.

It's funny when you see all multiple evils of the world unite, you truly know what side is good and bad.

I hope all major ISPs block access to NRA websites

Why? The NRA is basically an arm of the republican party at this point.

Who are you kidding, the NRA will obviously get fast track with the money they have.

Yes! I understand the concern of disbanding agencies @ federal level, but this is the point...transfer power back to state as per 10th amdmt

Thought of that after. Internet is indeed interstate, so interested to see how this turns out. But I think far greater to distribute

responsibility to state as opposed to consolidate power into single agency, let alone single chairman
BigBadBillyBoy
This is interstate commerce. That’s an incredible argument for the FCC to own and keep regulation pertaining to the internet.
ifmenwereangels
Yup. Its actually unclear to me why a state regulation would not just be preempted. Preventing inconsistent regulatory framework across 50
ifmenwereangels
states in instrumentalities of commerce (i.e. the Internet) is the very reason we have a the commerce clause.
KermitDuong
Yes. The state's should have the power. It should almost never come down to one person(s) to decide what is best for the whole country.
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
It wasn't one person. An appointed panel voted on the repeal.
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
Of 5 people. The deciding vote was Ajit. So yes, it was one person
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
Majority rules. That's the process.
BigBadBillyBoy
The states gave up their power to regulate interstate commerce when they formed their more perfect union.
KermitDuong
No, the federal government bullied the state's out of power by threatening to pull federal funding for the interstates, unless the 1/2

State's cooperated with the national drinking age. 2/2
BigBadBillyBoy
That’s an example of what I think was an overreach, yes. Drinking ages are not within a specifically stated congressional power, but 1/?

a strong argument could be made that helping to foster more uniform laws and protections between states is in the national interest. 2/2

As a conservative, WA is one of the few states that seem to have sensible liberals in charge. Pro-nuclear, net neutrality, etc. etc.

Have you heard Dori Monson? Sensible Liberal is an oxymoron...too bad there is no common sense party

Marijuana is illegal federally. It's all about the enforcement. There are laws states could pass to harm big ISPs to encourage competition.

From what i have gathered about the american political system over the past 2 years is that both sides blame each other for all the bad

That has ever been done. While the actual problem in American politics is the system as a whole. Both parties are corrupt to the bone
AgolfHiller
Neither side is better then the other and both sides are selfish cunts.

Unfortunately there are a bunch of Dems helping the Republicans get that deregulation of Wall Street pushed across the goal line.

The most bipartisan issue.

Yep. There is, for a while no, no center or left group. The Dems are still right wing, just less so. It's hard to hear the far right cry /1
