Democrats And One Lone Republican Pushing To Undo Net Neutrality Repeal Ahead Of 2018 Elections

Posted By Eric Lieberman On 8:25 PM 01/21/2018 In | No Comments

The debate over so-called “net neutrality” rules seemed to be over after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted 3 to 2 to repeal internet regulations imposed in 2015. But Democrats are striving for a last-ditch attempt to stop the repeal, even if the path forward appears inauspicious.

Fifty senators — 47 Democrats, two Independents, and one lone Republican — have so far endorsed a legislative move known as the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to undo the FCC’s most recent decision. If the coalition gets one more Republican on board, then they satisfy the simple majority needed for it to pass that chamber.
