Ok. I want to just be really negative, but seeing as @minimum_wage already expressed everything I can think of, let's be productive.

1. How do we (denizens of the internet) oppose this in a mature, legal and vocal manner?

2. If 1 is not possible, who do we turn the pitchforks on first?

1. Write to your congressman. Seriously. They may listen.

2. We grab the pitchforks and shove them into our skulls out of frustration.

A piece of advice: Use a proxy and/or VPN.

What can my congressman do about the appeals court? What can my senator do about the appeals court? If they're corrupt (Which they all are, they all accept money from corporate interests, other countries call it corruption, we call it lobbying) why does my email matter? Who in that office that matters cares? The intern with the senators cock in her mouth may want peace and an open internet, but as long as her job and future is dependent on that 'representative' of the American public, what can she do?

Quick edit to include, these questions aren't sarcastic, I legitimately would like to know what a congressman is capable of doing to overturn an appeal like this. Does such a mechanism exist?

New step 1: Suck your congressman's cock.

Apologies, I let frustration at something else bleed into this.
