Da, ta dah da. The FCC to the rescue.

Of a man convicted of murdering his wife in 1996, it appears that the
FCC is concerned about whether Mr. Scaggs possesses the requisite
character qualifications and if he is to remain a Commission licensee,
all the while ignoring the weekly and blatant jamming of the Liberty Net
by an ignoramus or ignorami.

How brave the FCC be, fighting to extinguish the license of a man doomed
to be removed from Amateur Radio for up to 32 years (less, with good
behavior). HEY FCC, why don't you do something of substance (I know,
it's difficult to actually get off your derrieres for something other
than pencil pushing), and FIND and PROSECUTE the Liberty Net Jammer, as
he is engaging in INTENTIONAL INTEFERENCE of Amateur radio.

What's that FCC, speak up?

Oh, I see, you approve of the jammer, as he attempts to squelch the 1st
Amendment Rights of fellow Americans.

What's that?

Oh, the Founding Fathers only meant for the 1st Amendment to guarantee
the rights of people of liberal persuasion to promulgate Iconoclastic
beliefs? You mean like predatory gays, atheists, and the ACLU to name a
few.

What's that?

I see, the more profligate the cause, the more likely that the
government will uphold the rights of people to disseminate it. But the
more traditional the cause, such as the Celebration of Christmas,
Easter, etc., these are the true threats to America.

I see FCC, in our hypothetical discussion you have revealed much. The
government is not concerned about the right of the people to engage in
political discourse if the conversation goes against what the government
wants us to believe, and the FCC is willing to acquiesce to the illegal
practices of individuals that blatantly violate the rules of Amateur
Radio.

But you are going to strip a prisoner of his license because of his
"poor character". You guys are the real characters.
