Trump Administration Tells Supreme Court To Wipe Out Decision Upholding Net Neutrality (hollywoodreporter.com)

Repealing net neutrality wasn't enough for the Trump administration. Today, the administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to vacate a 2016 appeal court ruling that had upheld Obama era net neutrality rules that barred ISPs from blocking, throttling, or prioritizing content. Reuters reports: The request was made even though the Federal Communications Commission voted along party lines to toss out the 2015 rules late last year, rendering the fight over their legality moot. In a filing to the Supreme Court, the Trump administration said the question for the court was "whether the now-superseded 2015 order was invalid because it exceeded the FCC's statutory authority, was arbitrary and capricious, was promulgated without adequate public notice, or violated the First Amendment."

Sounds to me like they want to get a ruling to prevent the next liberal "rule by fiat"

Say, did you know that Donald Trump has signed more executive orders in the first 20 months of his presidency that Barack Obama did in his first two years?

If you don't like "rule by fiat", then you should really be uncomfortable with the degenerate Trump regime.

This.

Authoritarianism can work on anybody. Anybody. All it takes is the following:

1. Make the population afraid, angry, or confused about something.
2. Present yourself as the only way to solve the problem.

Sound familiar?
