on the commission, not Obama....
Also, the fact is, these rules are already on very shaky legal ground, given that a federal appeals court decision from 2008 found that the commission has no legal standing for regulating internet service providers. That court said that there was no federal law that gave the FCC authority over the internet.
So with that legal hurdle to overcome, on top of the determination of Republicans in Congress to pass new legislation prohibiting the FCC from enacting these new regulations, it should be obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense why Genachowski went with a slate of rules that granted businesses a little more slack than progressives think is desirable.
