Television sets aren't special. THAT'S why I think they shouldn't be regulated by the government. The amount of power they consume doesn't hurt anyone any less if it is more efficient. What mandate does the government have in your mind that they can regulate anything they want, just because they can?

This is ridiculous. If people want an inefficient television set, they'll get it out of state if they have to (paying that state's sales tax, as opposed to ours). The government has no business telling us what sets we can and can't buy, if we're willing to pay for it.

Yeah, she's not going to publicize this. It's too technical for the masses, and people have a 'guilty until proven innocent' attitude these days, especially with digital media. I'm thinking she sweeps this under the rug, maybe settles out of court.
