Ted Cruz channels Senator McCarthy in wrongheaded internet power grab crusade

Kudos to Larry Strickling and the NTIA and Shame on Cruz

Thank you Kieren for excellent piece! And thanks for the reminder of the parallels with Sen. Joseph McCarthy's hearings.

Threatening DOC and NTIA staff with Jail?! Did Sen. Cruz really sink that low?

The IANA transition that has been a multi-stakeholder process, it has the support of the internet/tech community, and is the logical next step in the evolution of the Internet. But Sen. Cruz, a failed but still dangerous demagogue, has chosen this issue as his political football to get back into the media limelight. What a travesty of the political system to allow jokers like Sen. Cruz to exploit taxpayer money, and the time and patience of good and hardworking public servants for his own nefarious aims. His conclusions should be swiftly and decisively rejected by his colleagues.
