          I wonder if the companies allowed to take LifeLine subsidies and his bank account have anything in common.

            The question is, which tool is worse? The one with the orangutan hair or Pai. . .

                      How is that possible? Does FCC have that type of power to enforce individual states to comply?

                        Likely, yes.

                          Not in the least. Now do you think that actually matters to anyone?

                            Why do you say that? What do you mean not in the least? Everything the FCC does is federal and supercedes state laws.

                              Because I actually know the constitution and what the federal government is allowed. Like I said, nobody at any level actually pays any attention to it today, but it's never officially been changed to allow things like the FCC to exist.

                                So you know that interstate commerce is purely a federal concern then, so the states have no say in the matter.

                                  Quite the opposite, they've paid very close attention and use the constituion. It's people making up fake states' rights that is the confusion. Telecommunications has been an interstate concern since day one and never fallen to the states. The FCC is able to exist, and needed, specifically because the constitution creates a need for federal oversite of interstate matters.

                                    It's actually states, not the fed, that typically over step their bounds. The fed actually has nearly unlimited power in an age when almost all aspects of life are not bound to within the confines of a single state. Anything having to do with typical business, logistics, communications, or similar is clearly a federal concern.

                                        Also worth noting that interstate commerce includes anything affecting other states, not just trade directly with them.

                                        In United States v. Wrightwood Dairy Co. (1942) the Court upheld federal price regulation of intrastate milk commerce, stating:

                                        The commerce power is not confined in its exercise to the regulation of commerce among the states. It extends to those activities intrastate which so affect interstate commerce, or the exertion of the power of Congress over it, as to make regulation of them appropriate means to the attainment of a legitimate end, the effective execution of the granted power to regulate interstate commerce. [ ...] The power of Congress over interstate commerce is plenary and complete in itself, may be exercised to its utmost extent, and acknowledges no limitations other than are prescribed in the Constitution. [ ... ] It follows that no form of state activity can constitutionally thwart the regulatory power granted by the commerce clause to Congress. Hence, the reach of that power extends to those intrastate activities which in a substantial way interfere with or obstruct the exercise of the granted power

                                          You've missed the entire issue. I'd argue the commerce clause is abused today, but it's a valid power of the congress.

                                            But that's the point, that the commerce claus gives rise to the FCC and gives it the power over the states.
