Scalia Supports Obama On Net Neutrality (Pictures)

(Before It's News)

This is more evidence that the “conservative” reaction to President Obama’s call for Net Neutrality is completely stupid partisan hackery. Even Alex Jones has jumped the shark by diving head-first into the empty pool of partisan madness — just because Obama said it, it’s a leftist cause.

Way back in 2005 — yes, nine years ago — Justice Scalia, in this dissent: National Cable & Telecommunications Assn. v. Brand X Internet Services wrote that “the Federal Communications Commission should classify broadband providers as a more heavily regulated Title II telecommunications service.”

“After all is said and done, after all the regulatory cant has been translated, and the smoke of agency expertise blown away, it remains perfectly clear that someone who sells cable-modem service is ‘offering’ telecommunications.”

This is lock-step in line with what industry proponents of Net Neutrality have been asking for, for years, and absolutely lock-step in line with what Obama wants the FCC to do.

This is not a partisan issue, it never was until this week.
