Remember the name: Cass Sunstein (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6488205)
That is the next "target" on Beck's hit-list.

2. "Notice and Takedown Law"
Perhaps most disturbing is Mr. Sunstein’s vision for the future of web content, as he argues for a so-called “notice and take down†law. Under this provision, those who operate websites – - The Washington Post, radio stations, private bloggers, and perhaps even you, yourself -we would all be required “take down falsehoods upon notice†from the U.S. government.
That is from some RW site. In any case, Beck's twitter feed tells people to find everything they can about this person.
...and I wonder what they think about this? Like, when this policy is still in place and a Republican is elected President?
Meh, silly me, they'll just change the rules again like they did with fatass Ted's vacant senate seat.

Watched Beck this afternoon....this guy Sunstein gets in and we are all so screwed.....

The simple truth is that people are allowed to lie, as long as they don't do it while under oath. If the lie is egregious enough to be damaging, then there are existing laws in place to address it.
The problem with attempting to regulate the internet is determining where one nation's influence ends and another begins.
Lets say I make a web page that reads 'Barack Obama is related to gophers' - an obvious lie..
What if I buy webspace that is hosted on servers located in the United Kingdom ? France ? Japan ? Where does the rights of The United States to exert its influence end ?
..And the primitives thought Bush overreached.. Team Obama wants to make the 'Thought Police' a reality.

It's not just his ideas on internet regulation that concern me....
this guy thinks animals should have human lawyers to prosecute humans for hurting them!!! He'll want to turn us all into vegetarians!!
-
So far no one has come out to say: "notice and takedown is horrible...there's no way we would settle for that. It's a good thing Sunstein doesn't believe in that."
-
And the Senate just voted (7 or 9 GOP) to end debate on his nomination
-
And it becomes a vote by committee....those in favor say "aye"....those against say "nay"....he will get in.. :censored: :censored: :censored:

In the 2000 campaign, Bush proclaimed himself a "unit er, not a divider", only to turn out to be the most divisive President in memory. Because of his own certainty, and his lack of curiosity about what others might think, Bush polarized the nation. Many of his most ambitious plans went nowhere as a result.
As president, Ba rack ABM would be a genuine unit er. If he proves able to achieve great things, for his nation and for the world, it will be above all for that reason.
