Senate Democrats plan to force vote on net neutrality May 9th

Democrats in Congress have been against the FCC's repeal of net neutrality rules from the beginning. They've had the signatures in favor of restoring the rules since January, along with a companion House bill (with 80 co-sponsors). Senator Edward J. Markey also introduced a formal Congressional Review Act "resolution of disapproval" in February. Now, Markey tweeted that Democrats will force a floor vote restore the rules on May 9th.

    Not a bad idea. There are so many obsolete laws on the books. That quote of the day at the bottom of my Soylent page has reminded me that in some city, it is illegal to eat in a burning building. I'm not doing a search to find out, but it's believable.

    Amazing!!! Another thing that Runaway believes without knowing anything! Truly astounding powers of faith the man has, with so much energy saving on the side of research and actual, factual, correct knowledge!!
