Which Commissioner do we split in half?grin

There are five Commissioners. No more than three may be members of the
same party.

Unfortunately I wouldn't count on a Democratic Presidency stopping BPL.
Firstly, they're just as susceptible to campaign contributions as
Republicans. Secondly, the GOP Congress has a record of overturning FCC
decisions if they offend enough lobbyists. (witness the anti-LPFM
legislation - which was enacted despite a Democratic President who
opposed it)

Democratic Congresses in my lifetime never had a record of trying
anything that blatant. Doesn't mean they haven't learned from the GOP
since then.
