BREITBART CALIFORNIA/California’s Democrat-controlled legislature is again leading the so-called “resistance” to President Donald Trump — this time, by planning to reinstate Net Neutrality rules repealed by FCC’s Republican majority last Thursday.
California State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) announced following the FCC’s 3-2 repeal vote that he will introduce legislation early in 2018 to re-regulate Internet providers under the so-called “People Power” rules.
Weiner told Bay Area public radio station KQED:
We don’t think that the FCC has the power to stop states from enacting our own rules. In fact, the FCC has lost that argument in court before, so we’re going to move forward. California does have significant ways of impacting internet access. We regulate cable franchises. Cable companies and telecommunication companies rely on access to the public right of way for their public infrastructure.
Weiner knows that there are huge constitutional issues regarding a state attempting to preempt federal authority regarding interstate commerce, but he joined a long list of Democrats in California and other states that view dumping Net Neutrality as the crowning achievement of President Trump’s promise to reverse the progressives’ 80-year expansion of government’s reach through unelected bureaucratic rule-making.

“California State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco)”
anthony’s brother ?
or just another democrat dickhead?
Have at it!
I’d prefer to see them openly declare that the State owns everything and everyone; their thoughts, their homes, their pensions, their 401ks, their Savings, their Checking, their conscience, their actions, their results, the lives and earnings of their kids and grandkids for generations to come.
That would eliminate all that “debate” bullshit and let em get on with it.
It amazes me that people enjoy living in delusion.
izlamo delenda est …
Build the wall, and put California on the other side. Cut them off from all Federal money, and reduce the Federal tax rate for everyone in the other 49 states.
May it now be formally declared that Mexifornia has successfully seceded from the Union and get on about our more serious business– tariffs, for example, and visa requirements for visitors?
Just askin’.
Whut iz it with democRATs and wieners???
FCC won’t stop them from officially becoming North Mexico either.
DO IT!!
Yet more left coast idiots sticking their wiener where it doesn’t belong?
” We regulate cable franchises.”
You regulated a lot of other businesses too, morons – right OUT of your state.
Fucking lefturds are unteachable, yet they always insist on schooling others.
Still, seems like in-state regulation of a ‘world-wide web’ is doomed from the beginning.
The Peoples Communist State of California needs gasoline.
Triple tax it going in.
Check his bank account for some sudden deposits from netflixx, hulu, anazon-prime or all the others that provide data heavy entertainment. They were the driving force behind net-neutrality as their business models came under threat as their business’s grew. The cable companies weren’t angels either when they were flogging their hi-speed unlimited download for one low low price and realized that the netflixx’s of the world were going to screw that up they started throttling high rate users but not telling them. This whole thing was about money and limits not about access. Anybody can get the type of access they want if they’re willing to pay.
As for California putting their own laws in, welcome to a Trump SCOTUS kids.
‘The People’s………”, a phrase used by every tyrant since the beginning of time.
I want to see how California implements this.
