Net Neutrality Is Dead Perhaps because of a Revolving Door

2. The argument is well taken ..

and I'm disgusted that the FCC is caving, but another part of the problem is that whatever the FCC does telecoms can run back to courts that were packed by decades of republican presidents. We saw that in the FCC vs. Verizon. Regardless of the laws that are on the books(by which verizon and other telecoms can be defined for the purposes of legislation), they can be "interpreted" beyond recognition by a court without recourse (except to higher courts, the highest of which is conservative).

So the blame is well placed on the FCC, and the executive, but it's all for naught ultimately with the judiciary system we have right now in my opinion.
