FCC attacks 1st Amendment again, gets laughed out of court

Finally, a judge with some sense! In yet another grab for power by the FCC at the expense of our freedoms, the FCC this time is trying to force colleges, at huge expense, to make Internet communications more "friendly" to wiretaps. Problem is, there's nothing authorizing them to do so. U.S. Circuit Judge Harry Edwards ridiculed them for this, saying, "Your argument makes no sense. When you go back to the office, have a big chuckle. I'm not missing this. This is ridiculous. Counsel!"

The FCC, among many other federal agencies, is in desperate need of many more such bitch-slappings. It's good to see there are still friends of freedom in the judiciary.
