Supreme Court To Revisit 1996 Telecom Act This Term
Masem writes "In addition to the cases of online adult material mentioned yesterday, the Supreme Court is slated to hear several cases regarding the failure of the 1996 Telecommunications Bill and it's affect on the current market, as summarized by NYTimes (Free Reg Req). Namely, 10 high profile cases that were in the federal circuits are being condensed into 3 specific cases that the court will hear separately. The first is dealing with rates and fees the local bell can incur on competing services (including alternate carriers and DSL CLECs) that use their equipment. The second is whether there still exists differences between the concept of common carrier between phone and cable services since the types of service that both are providing are quickly merging. The third is in regard to the ability for the federal system to overrule state utility boards in their decison and penalty of telecom companies."
You know... the funny thing is... They have an editor on staff already. I'm no journalist, but doesn't an editor check things like grammar and spelling?
Isn't that his job??

Only because of all the voter fraud in the City of Saint Louis did that happen. It was so bad that U.S. Marshalls got called in to oversee the mayoral election, which Francis Slay won easily. The rest of the state almost certainly would have elected Ashcroft, and the vote was close enough that without the fraud, Ashcroft would have won. Furthermore, there was a sympathy vote and it was already known at the time that his widow would be appointed by Governor Holden to the Senate. Not to mention that polls in the City of Saint Louis were held open late by approval of a judge, a decision which was overturned later in the night, but not before the polls were held open for a time. So I'm not sure Ashcroft didn't really win Missouri, and the Senate has the power to choose its membership in some cases and could have sent Carnahan's widow home, as would Ashcroft have the opportunity to request recounts, which he declined. So get the facts before you go making ignorant comments. Thanks.
