Sick of the idiocy

Why are the people with the most warped sense of the Constitution always the first to invoke it? At least this guy didn't get the Constitution and the Bill of Rights confused.

Regardless, wouldn't net neutrality, with respect to treating all traffic the same, be more in the spirit of the 1st Amendment? If you want to stifle one type of traffic but allow another to pass, that seems like the violation of the 1st Amendment to me; if he really wants to draw that absurd parallel between speech and various types of internet data transfer anyway.

What I find fascinating is the Orwellian aspects to these types of arguments. At its core Network Neutrality attempts to decouple delivery from content. How mandating first-mile providers cannot promote or discourage certain types of content becomes an infringement of the First Amendment eludes me.

Corporate outrage over possible legislation is always countered by saying we would never do it anyway so there is not need for the regulation.
