Just kill me now: "Top down power grab" my ass. The one guy punching up for consumers is gonna be out, I didn't even realize that... Dark days for internet in the US.
- mkaziz 10y agoNot just for the internet, friend. Not just for the internet.
- prasadjoglekar 10y agoThe subtitle of the article is: "Democrats' last-minute rulemakings could be easily reversed once GOP takes over." That's the problem with executive rule making - changes in the executive lead to changes to the rules. If the rule was not made by consensus, why expect its repeal to be by consensus either?
- MrZongle2 10y agoAgreed. Whenever President Obama would make an "end-run around Congress" by signing a new Executive Order, nobody should have been cheering it because each EO can be easily nullified by a successor. Consensus is neither easy nor guaranteed to generate a result that makes all parties equally happy. But it is more likely to prevent radical changes in the future.
