OK… Obama’s A-G Designee Eric Holder Believes in Regulating the Internet…

Eric Holder, the guy Obama wants to bring in as Attorney-General is of the opinion that the internet ought to be regulated.

I guess that pesky little thing known as the  First Amendment does not matter to Obama and his cabinet.

Here’s the interview with Holder, and the First amendment follows immediately after…

The transcript, courtesy of Newsbusters:

The court has really struck down every government effort to try to regulate it. We tried with regard to pornography. It is gonna be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with reasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations in how people interact on the Internet, that is something that the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at. - May 28, 1999 NPR Morning Edition

The 1st Amendment, couresty of the US Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
