- This is the single sentence text of S.J.R. 34.
- And these are the 2016 FCC Internet Privacy rules (all 399 pages!) that S.J.R. 34 overturned.

- ...and this is Verizon v. FCC, 740 F.3d 623 (D.C. Cir. 2014), which struck down those rules. This is the case we discuss in depth in this part of the story.
- And, as a special hint to our listeners who read the show notes, Part 2 of this story airing next week will focus on the case of FTC v. AT&T Mobility, a 2016 decision from the 9th Circuit.

Plus, we head back to Vexillological Corner for a discussion of city flags with flag expert Ted Kaye.
