That’s because the Supreme Court has held that a federal agency contemplating a significant change in policy must “examine the relevant data and articulate a satisfactory explanation for its action.”
Ah, but which Supreme Court? The New, Improved Supreme Court™ might just say, “yea, well, whatever, go ahead.”
And that’s if Trump doesn’t get to replace Ginsberg.

Thank you Cory. This is the first intelligent commentary that I’ve seen regarding the ‘nonsense’ that’s going on in D.C. Let’s hope that some common sense (and our Constitution ) will actually be able to protect our incredibly valuable internet.

I hope they actually try to do something like this.
I’ve given up on fighting for net neutrality for now. I’m waiting for a more sane administration to take control and rebuild everything that’s being destroyed.

Simple solution.
If we did not have a Verizon lawyer working against our interests, that would make perfect sense.
There is a petition circulating asking him to step down, but the people’s voice does not matter in a plutocracy.

Yeah, about that.
