The US Senate is expected to vote on Joint Resolution 6 this week. You mean you’ve forgotten about this? SJ 6 is a one sentence piece of legislation that succinctly expresses Senators’ (read Republicans’) desire to stomp on the FCC’s recent net neutrality rules.
The House passed a similar resolution in April.
The Senate version will require a simple majority of 51 votes, and then, if approved, the signature of the President (unlikely) for it to take effect.
Meanwhile, at the Federal courts, a judicial panel has recently chosen the DC Court of Appeals as the venue for Verizon’s suit against FCC and its authority over Internet access.
The DC Court has been the site of past FCC massacres.
Game on!
