With the "legal content" rule, I expect some bottom feeding bulk mailers to sue claiming that their CAN SPAM compliant spam is legal, therefore the providers can't block it.

Yeah... I've had a recurring nightmare for a while now. There are spammers that skate on the edge of "legal." Since they're legal, I can't drop their traffic anymore -- and they start filling my transit pipes. Then, they force me to privately peer with them... ...and then sue me to get bigger pipes... But hey -- at least it's neutral, so that's good.
