Is this new bill a necessary "Emergency Power" or Absolute Power?

Asked by Cruiser (40449points) June 17th, 2010

Sen Joe Lieberman has been pushing for government regulation of the Internet for years under the guise of cybersecurity, but this new bill goes even further in handing emergency powers over to the feds which could be used to silence free speech under the pretext of a national emergency.

Is this new bill a necessary “Emergency Power” or Absolute Power for the Government to possibly censor free speech in sensitive political matters?
