Also true. But then you run into the problem of Congress actually doing something. And even if they do, the President can still veto it.

I suppose they could try to defund the FCC, but I guarantee that would never happen.

If the FCC had no funds to enforce regulations, what's to stop me from squatting prime spectrum property that Verizon spent so much money on?

Honestly, I wasn't outright suggesting the FCC should be defunded (that blurb was sarcasm; I should have labeled it as such). That would be a bad thing. ;)

However, I can say with a straight face that I know plenty of people who might make that sort of suggestion...
