True or false - your ISP should have full legal authority to block your access to any website at their own discretion, devoid of any legitimate reason.

Depends on if it is in their contract that they may do so.
I know you're trying to ask if there should be a law preventing them from doing so though, and the answer is no. If Cox Cable says "hey we are blocking all CNN related websites from our servers" who do those servers fricking belong to? Oh that's right Cox.
Now if they have a contract that says they won't do so ,and they violate the contract. then they have another problem entirely.
This is just like a few weeks ago the fat **** doctor on United. That plane belongs to United, they tell you to get off, get the frick off, it's THEIR plane and they have a contract that says "we can remove you from the plane for yada yada yada"
It's almost like we don't even respect property rights in this country any more.

In a vacuum, my answer is true. You have the right to switch providers if you feel that your ISP is not acceptable to your needs. I also feel that you would think an ISP could use internal "net neutrality" as a competitive advantage and selling point in an unregulated world. If the market thinks this is a worthwhile benefit for that particular ISP, they will make $. In a regulated world, you are probably paying more than you could be in an unregulated world.
