WHOOOA! This has to be protested big time. If this is permitted to happen we are all royally screwed, since the Internet is the Mass Communications structure of this era. The government used to be able to block radio &TV (probably still can and would) but right now it is not possible to close down the loop and voice of the Internet so easily. Unless this happens and we cannot let this happen. EFF is right, this is very dangerous.
Hopefully people start organizing now and figuring ways to setup P2P and Mesh systems that can perhaps bypass the normal Internet and circumvent any blocks the government (any government) that is put into place.

Yeah -- it must be nice to be able to gain seats in high position because of family name and family money, rather than actually earning it.
The guy is definitely pushing to build out the FBI is his congressional district of his state. Sounds like another few that do this.
