TECH Noah Feldman: "The congressional battle over net neutrality may be over, and the Federal Communications Commission has voted to regulate the Internet as a public utility. But that just means the fight over net neutrality will likely move back to the courts." Read more... Justin Fox: "People on both sides assert with remarkable certainty that if they don't get their way, the online world as we know it will be destroyed. Yet about the only thing a semineutral observer can say with confidence is that they're probably wrong. The rest is guesswork." Read more... Katie Benner: "Over the next few weeks, Silicon Valley will be engrossed in a trial involving Reddit's chief executive, Ellen Pao, and the powerhouse venture capital firm that once employed her, Kleiner Perkins." Read more... 2016 ELECTIONS Jonathan Bernstein: "CPAC -- for Conservative Political Action Conference -- is a visible part of the 'invisible primary,' the process preceding primaries and caucuses in which the Republican Party's actors compete over and coordinate on the presidential nomination." Read more...

Hunt: "Middle-class wages are stagnant, income inequality has been rising, and the odds of someone born into the lowest income quintile reaching the top quintile are a little more than half as good in the U.S. as in Canada.

But for those of us who believe in a robust debate under the First Amendment, the implications are unsettling." Read more... SPORTS Kavitha A. Davidson: "Scouts and commentators are falling over themselves to laud Jameis Winston's performance at the NFL combine. ... The only thing they're not talking about? Sexual assault." Read more... IMMIGRATION Francis Wilkinson: "Texas, leading a coalition of 26 red (and reddish) states, got what it wanted from a federal district judge last week: a preliminary injunction halting the Obama administration's Nov. 20 executive action on immigration. But Texas's complaint that it would suffer harm from President Barack Obama's action has opened the door to a powerful rebuttal from states that have a different spin on the immigration plan." Read more... RUSSIA Leonid Bershidsky: "Western politicians and pundits should be more careful with their predictions for the Russian economy: Reports of its demise may prove to be premature." Read more...
