said by jester121 :It's a delicate balance between respecting the rights of the several states to govern themselves, and saving the citizens of those states from the greedy, corrupt, or inept state legislatures. Then amend the US Constitution to allow for the Federal Government to exert such authority. If this becomes law it will be overturned. -- Only SHATNER is Kirk. |

To all posters and not just Skippy25 , the Federal Government already has exerted its authority over all things related to communications...even down to individual pieces of property. This is an example of that:
