This is potentially scary. In a nutshell, a couple of nuts in Congress have drafted a bill that allows the President power to shut down all civilian traffic on the web during times of “national emergencies. Given that Obama’s new Homeland Security guru, Janet Napalitano, thinks that the Canadian and Mexican borders should be similarly boarded up (because of the hordes of Canadians running south with drugs, guns and the intent to work low paying jobs without health care benefits), I am thinking the new POTUS might not be all that averse to this additional power being literally handed to him. But maybe he is a better man than GW was.
