Senate to Vote on Net Neutrality Repeal

The effort to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's recent repeal of its net neutrality rules just crossed an important threshold.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) has mustered the 30 votes necessary to force a vote on the FCC’s decision to repeal net neutrality. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) announced that she’s signed onto Markey’s request to overturn the new rules, under the Congressional Review Act — which lets Congress nullify recently passed regulations with a simple majority.
