Even when the Obami privatize they do it for the wrong reasons and without following constitutional process

ICANN gets privatized because a lazy President got his geopolitical 'member' stuck in a wringer.  Of course he feels no need to consult Congress or the people before he hands off the internet.  Presumably to some Dem crony group. This is bound to end well.   Hattip Instapundit.com.

The Consequences Of The NSA Failure.

In the wake of the NSA surveillance controversy, the Obama administration is privatizing part of the internet. It will be giving up state control of Icann, which assigns internet addresses. The privatization of Icann started back in 1997 but was put on hold after 9/11. . . . 

The Obama administration undertook massive expansion of US spying without reviewing the weaknesses in the system that allowed people like Snowden and Manning to access extraordinary amounts of important data. It neglected to inform key allies (like Germany) about the nature of its program. It overreached by using a system whose only real justification was security against terror for other ends, apparently including information in such matters as trade negotiations. Now in an attempt to patch up relations, it is taking a step that has significant implications — without, one notes, feeling any need to get authorization from congress.

No matter what the topic: it's about Barack Obama and his needs - the country be damned.  The notion of this President 'taking one for the team' is utterly inconceivable.  But I think selfish arrogance is common personality trait among lawyers.
