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.

    My favorite example of this is the "Patriot Act". I'd be hard-pressed to think of another bill that goes against the spirit of the United States of America as documented in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Probably the most unpatriotic law ever written.
