I'm confused about "parties" here. It seems all 5 current FCC members were appointed by BO.

Am I missing something?

Max of 3 can be of the same party as the president.
Stuff like this makes me mad, because it seems to do more to reinforce the "2-party" system which automatically means that the "other" party is the "bad" party.

Not sure that not having it would be any better though.

Fair enough. I guess those will be 5-0 votes, given the response to all this from the hard right.
