Regulation

The U.S. Senate will shortly face an attempt by Democrats to misuse the Congressional Review Act  to re-impose Title II regulations on internet service providers (ISPs).  And while this divisive, grandstanding approach will likely fail and even backfire, the ploy shows proponents’ determination to put the federal government back in charge of micromanaging the Internet.

Republicans should drop a simple and elegant bill — one that bars all Internet players from interfering with or censoring the online experience of all Americans.

The Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI), along with several other organizations, has filed an amicus brief in the landmark Internet sales tax case South Dakota v. Wayfair, scheduled on April 17 before the U.S. Supreme Court.

In a victory for the Texas economy and consumers, a U.S. District Court judge has ruled against an anti-competitive state law barring publicly traded companies from owning package liquor stores.

The city must resist the call for an enormous new investment of taxpayer dollars to facilitate these private entrepreneurial ventures.

If ever a federal program had outlived its usefulness, it’s the government’s support for ethanol.
