Court says Obama's internet transition can go forward
[excerpted] A federal judge gave a green light to the Obama administration’s hotly contested plan to cede oversight of the Internet to the international community.
In a ruling issued Friday, Judge George Hanks Jr. denied a request from four Republican state attorneys general to temporarily halt the transition just hours before the handoff was scheduled to occur at midnight Friday. The AGs had argued the move violated the U.S. Constitution.
But it may not be the end of the Obama administration's political and legal headaches. Even though the transition may proceed, the four states that sued this week could appeal — and they haven't ruled it out. A spokesman for Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said the AG would "continue to explore our options for relief to unwind these improper acts by the Obama administration."
The aide added: "When the Federal Government improperly gives up property, the courts can still invalidate that transfer.” Spokespeople for the attorneys general in Texas and Nevada told POLITICO they are also weighing next steps.
Meanwhile, some House members have floated the idea of their own lawsuit against the Obama administration's transition plans. ***

Texas is in court today to stop Oct. 1 internet transfer
Texas is in court today, leading a last-minute effort to stop the Obama administration from transferring U.S. control of internet domain names and designations on Saturday.
The lawsuit filed by Paxton and the other attorneys general said the transfer “violates the Property Clause of the U.S. Constitution by giving away government property without congressional authorization, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by chilling speech and the Administrative Procedure Act by acting beyond statutory authority.”
