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.

Now I wouldn't go that far. This is just theater but the Democrats actually would restore the Net Neutrality / Net Censorship regime if they could. Unlike the crapweasel Republicans that blowed a lot of smoke up their supporter's butts for years and years of show votes but the second they actually had the House, Senate and a President who declared he would sign a full Obamacare repeal they suddenly stopped holding votes on it, soon they were conserving it, almost like they were the same sellouts they have been since forever.
