WEB OF CONTROL

If you're reading this, there's still hope. TheDC's Josh Peterson reports: "Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said Tuesday that a Senate vote to overturn the FCC's net neutrality rules might come as early as next week. The vote would happen just days ahead of November 20, when the rules are scheduled to take effect.

Hutchison said the necessary number of senators' signatures have been obtained for the petition — the Resolution of Disapproval — to consider the FCC's net neutrality regulations under the Congressional Review Act. The CRA, which gives Congress the authority to review every new regulation issued by federal agencies, would allow opponents of the FCC's rules to force a vote and overrule the regulation.

'We are hoping that next week we will be able to get the Resolution of Disapproval on the floor,' said Hutchison. 'We have over 40 signatures to have the expedited Congressional authority to take this resolution up, and the House has already passed it. It now rests in the Senate.'

Supporters of net neutrality argue that Internet service providers should not be allowed to favor some content over others; opponents argue that the FCC is trying to fix a non-problem. 'The Internet is not broken and does not need fixing,' Hutchison told the audience at The Heritage Foundation's blogger’s briefing. Hutchison said that there should have at least been a congressional debate about the matter."

Debate? Everybody knows that debate is merely the process by which a normal person gives up trying to reason with a Democrat. Well, the Internet will be a lot better once the government controls it. You know, like TV and radio? The things you used to rely on before the Internet?
