I don't know where you three idiots get that, but no. 

Maxwell's equations are only invariant under the Lorentz transformation, 
and that preserves the speed of light regardless of the speed of the 
observer. 

But then, I shouldn't be wasting my time with physics ignoramuses who 
don't know lower division undergrad physics. (Okay, with things the way 
they are, it may now be UPPER division undergrad physics...)
