Pretty sure the first amendment has that covered.

Who is tweeting about net neutrality this morning? 

[pyrohornIII 4818]

Well my Qtard buddy thinks net neutrality is an evil, so I'm for this movement to protect it. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

I had this idea a few days ago and I can’t think of many legitimate reasons not to do this.  

I wanted to pitch it to the assholes here so they could tear the idea apart.

in the Texas constitution, who gives a shit.  i feel like less is more with the big one.  Not that the Constitution is important to republicans.

[Bookman 4640]

I think it's a great idea. We can put it right next to the abortion clause.

If not for this, we need to get back into the business of amending the Constitution to adapt to a changing world.

It’s actually a pretty solid litmus test to see if ones a troll or if one is merely stating their honest beliefs as being opposed to NN is an utterly indefensible position.

Our government is 100+ years behind technology, social changes and population growth because of the Constitution.

So yes.  Agreed.

Are you talking Texas constitution? Maybe, then.

But the US? If so, then you really don't understand what the US Constitution does, imo.

I think this is right.  There are circumstances, namely robust competition between ISPs and online media companies, where net neutrality wouldn't be as desirable or desirable at all.  The Constitution is for matters of structure of the government and mostly immutable principles/rights.  I don't think NN qualifies.
