No, instead it should be a cabal of ten tech executives with names like Brian, Lowell, Marcelo, Thomas, and John - you know the good ol' boys who have made Pai rich and have jobs lined up for him as soon as he retires from the FCC. Those silly new-age-tech guys don't understand how the game works, and think that the constitution has any place in our "Democracy".

What part of Pai's actions go against the constitution? Unilateral actions by the executive can also unilaterally be undone by the executive. More durable change rests with congress or the courts.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. If ISPs are allowed to put up a tollway preventing or slowing my access to the press - at their own discretion, that is absolutely a violation of the constitution.
