    Here’s the section again.

    Congress shall have the power … To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

    If they deem the regulatory power of agencies like the FCC to be necessary to carry out something in the entire list of powers I ellipsed; then it is constitutional. And no amount of “fixing” would work as long as we have a captured court ignoring the Constitution, straight up lying about it and about history.

      So you’re saying that it’s the courts that are behaving incorrectly according to their role in the constitution? If so, that doesn’t change the underlying point I’m making here.

        I’m saying the courts are operating in bad faith and not even trying to hide it. You can’t write your way around someone willing to declare the sky is purple if it profits their friends.

          We’re saying the same thing. The government is not operating according to how the constitution says it’s supposed to be working.
