Actually, there is nothing over-the-top about it. Creating a government controlled system of 'censoring' anything, legal or not, puts it at their fingertips. All that would be stopping them is their self-control, which is proven to be less than reliable lately. It's best if we don't touch this with a proverbial 10-foot pole, the potential for current, more or less future, abuse is very real and very threatening.
The only permanent solution to this is to enact term limits. There is already a resolution in the senate with bi-partisian support. We need more people to push for this, do it at termlimits.org!
