On Kagan and net neutrality

Two weeks ago, House members from both parties ordered the FCC to stop Web regulation efforts until Congress decides whether to change its mandate to include the Web. But Congress is worse at keeping its hands off private businesses than N.J. Gov. Chris Christie is at pilates.

This’ll go to the Supreme Court sooner or later.

Like other SCOTUS nominees, Kagan can brush off in her confirmation hearings questions that could come before her in Court. But as a U.S. Senator opposing Harriet Miers’ nomination, Obama once said that “blank-slate” candidates are obligated to be “more forthcoming.” Squirrels have more bench experience than Kagan. She owes it to Congress to be upfront on free speech and net neutrality.
