Obama's boy at the FCC is going to punk the internet tomorrow.

Who is this federal punk? None other than another of Obama's go-fers, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.

Tomorrow, December 21, the FCC will make another Administration effort to capture control over the internet. Its called "net [as in 'internet'] neutrality. It is a complicated doctrine, the end result being the curtailment of conservative talk.

The Administration has been shot down twice. The first time came at the hands of an appellate court.

The WSJ has this to say about that decision: Last year, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski started to fulfill this promise by proposing rules using a legal theory from an earlier commission decision (from which I had dissented in 2008) that was under court review. So confident were they in their case, FCC lawyers told the federal court of appeals in Washington, D.C., that their theory gave the agency the authority to regulate broadband rates, even though Congress has never given the FCC the power to regulate the Internet. FCC leaders seemed caught off guard by the extent of the court's April 6 rebuke of the commission's regulatory overreach.

The court denied the FCC's case. Beatdown #1.

Beatdown #2 came at the hands of the United State Congress, a congress controlled by Democrats, we might add. Last year, also, congress was asked to consider the "fairness doctrine." Because of the uproar caused by the push to spend money, the Democrat congress decided to wait on that legislative effort.

We will have much more to say about this effort after tomorrow's internal FCC vote.

It is our understanding that Congress has 60 days to act on this FCC Marxist decision. We trust that this will be corrected.
