The 6th Circ overturned the FCC's net neutrality rule today, and it shows how Loper Bright (overturning Chevron) opens the door to judicial activism. No more deference to an agency's “permissible” interpretation of the law. Now the judiciary alone settles the score. [image]

On Net Neutrality: When Congress passed the Telecommunications Act in 1934 it clearly wanted the American people to enjoy non-discriminatory, low-cost communications services. Finding otherwise is blatant judicial activism that puts corporate interests over American democracy.

Net neutrality was SUCH a big deal for a while, was supposed to be “the end of the internet as we know it.” In the end it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference one way or another. A reminder that almost all dire consequences of government actions are overblown [image]
