Do we have rogue regulatory agencies? The answer is an emphatic, yes! These bureaucracies thumb their noses at the
American people and our representatives.
They don't have to go through the legislative process and therefore are
unaccountable for passing rules and regulations that have the force of law. These agencies are making a mockery of our
federalist system and our constitutional process.
What is the latest outrage? The FEC has proposed new rules that would
punish political speech on the internet.
The Washington Examiner reported the following:
Claiming that thousands of public comments condemning “dark
money” in politics can’t be ignored, the Democrat-chaired Federal Election
Commission on Wednesday appeared ready to open the door to new regulations on
donors, bloggers and others who use the Internet to influence policy and
campaigns.
During a broad FEC hearing to discuss a recent Supreme Court
decision that eliminated some donor limits, proponents encouraged the agency to
draw up new funding disclosure rules and require even third-party
internet-based groups to reveal donors, a move that would extinguish a 2006
decision to keep the agency’s hands off the Internet.
So let’s get this straight.
The FEC can draw up rules without the consent of Congress and in direct
defiance of a Supreme Court ruling, not to mention violate the tenets of the
First Amendment. They can do this
because 32,000 liberal activists demanded the FEC do something about “dark money.”
Let’s face it. Liberals
want to silence conservative bloggers and news aggregators, and they don’t care
how it’s done.
