El Reg reports

Voters in Colorado have abolished laws that had prohibited local governments from offering their own broadband internet services.

Local ballots in 17 counties all resulted in voters electing to allow their local governments to offer broadband service in competition with private cable companies. The vote overturns a 2005 law that prevented any government agency from competing in the broadband space.

[...] According to The Denver Post , the 17 counties have differing reasons for overturning the rule. Some areas want to build their own broadband infrastructure, while others simply want to offer Wi-Fi service in public buildings or improve service for farming communities.

    Federal judges (especially SCOTUS members) can keep their jobs until they die or decide to quit.
    Of the folks running for president last time, which one would you rather have choosing those jurists?

    As a start, you might do a text search for the word "Justice" on this page [greenshadowcabinet.us] which names Jill Stein's Green Shadow Cabinet.
    Compare that to the majority-Catholic, majority-Reactionary group now sitting at 1 First St NE, Washington, DC.
