U.S. Appeals Court Strikes Down FCC's Net Neutrality Push

There would already be good legislation to protect consumers, and the FCC wouldn't feel the need to overstep its bounds in order to protect consumers. Either that or the FCC's powers would have already been legally expanded to authorize their net neutrality rules.

But as it stands, government is incompetent at every level. And the courts have no qualms about legislating from the bench when it serves the interests of some powerful lobby and helps to erode the power of the Constitution. Their reservations about overstepping their bounds only come into play when Americans are fighting for their rights.
