Actually, no. Laws are made by the Legislature, so communications directed to your legislators can express a view about laws you feel should be enacted, repealed or modified.
The FCC is a regulatory body, with certain authority and areas of concern. The rule making is delegated to the appointed members of the commission. Rules != Laws. If a rule breaks a law, you don’t have to take it to SCOTUS to overturn the rule; a suit in a Federal circuit or charges from law enforcement will usually do the trick.
All that said, the FCC is there to serve the people and should consider the impact rules will have on society and listen to all voices. They are not limited to accepting only legal input for their rule making processes.
- bo1024 9y agoThanks, this helps clarify. It doesn't make the FCC comment much less bizarre, since aside from potential for violating an existing law, my comment seems to roughly go through with "rule" substituted in for "law".
