Non-Abortion Questions For Scalito

[AnnieBW]

I was checking out Skype Journal today and found a list of questions that someone should ask Alito. They're all related to Internet, telephone, and general communications laws. The post was by someone named Phil Wolff.

What issues affecting VoIP and telecom will come before the Supreme Court of the United States in the next 30 years? The Senate is interviewing Judge Samuel Alito this week before consenting to his lifelong appointment.

1. Privacy and the rights of individuals to secure theirs
2. Consumer control over personal information
3. Power of executive branch (FCC) vs. regulators
4. Rights of corporations, especially speech
5. Taxation of internet communication
6. Who has authority to regulate/censor internet content
7. Application of international law and treaties to US government
8. Employment law vs. employee rights to communicate
9. Coyprights vs. fair use
10. Network neutrality and common carrier status
11. Monopoly power and antitrust regulation

I know it's not as hot-button as abortion or privacy, but they're very important nonetheless. So, anyone reading this from the Judiciary Committee staff, please let one of the Dem Senators know that they should be asking these questions!
