The federal government would have “absolute power” to shut down the Internet under the terms of a new US Senate bill being pushed by Joe Lieberman, legislation which would hand President Obama a figurative “kill switch” to seize control of the world wide web in response to a Homeland Security directive.

So we've got a Dem (Rockefeller) and a so-called Ind (Leiberman) supporting this...how much longer until the social conservatives of the Reps jump on board. Especially if it's to "protect the children".
