          One would hope so.

            Seems like one branch of government, at least for this issue, has their head on straight.

                  I wonder if the companies allowed to take LifeLine subsidies and his bank account have anything in common.

                    The question is, which tool is worse? The one with the orangutan hair or Pai. . .

                              How is that possible? Does FCC have that type of power to enforce individual states to comply?

                                Likely, yes.

                                  Not in the least. Now do you think that actually matters to anyone?

                                      Because I actually know the constitution and what the federal government is allowed. Like I said, nobody at any level actually pays any attention to it today, but it's never officially been changed to allow things like the FCC to exist.

                                        So you know that interstate commerce is purely a federal concern then, so the states have no say in the matter.

                                          Quite the opposite, they've paid very close attention and use the constituion. It's people making up fake states' rights that is the confusion. Telecommunications has been an interstate concern since day one and never fallen to the states. The FCC is able to exist, and needed, specifically because the constitution creates a need for federal oversite of interstate matters.

                                            It's actually states, not the fed, that typically over step their bounds. The fed actually has nearly unlimited power in an age when almost all aspects of life are not bound to within the confines of a single state. Anything having to do with typical business, logistics, communications, or similar is clearly a federal concern.
