Max: Senator Sununu (R) Just Says "No" To Broadcast Flag
Sununu says FCC should not regulate technological innovation.
The "broadcast flag," an infamous copy-protection scheme aimed at halting redistribution of over-the-air television content via the Internet, could face new setbacks if a Republican senator from New Hampshire gets his way.
U.S. Sen. John Sununu said this week that he's drafting legislation that would prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from "requiring or imposing a specific technology, technological standard, solution, or product on industry," with an eye toward the anticopying regime.

Wait. A Republican who is not restricting or lessening our freedoms?
I don't think I can handle that.
Not all R's are complete nutballs. In 2004, Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee (since retired) publicly stated that he in no way supported Shrub's re-election. Former NJ Governor and former Shrub cabinet member Chrisitie Todd-Whitman wrote a book called "My Party Too," about her fight to pull the R's back to the center. She even started an organization to counter the Christian Reich.
