GOP Senators Move To Block FCC On Net Neutrality

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the who-regulates-the-regulators dept.

suraj.sun writes "Seven Republican senators have announced a plan to curb the Obama administration's push to impose controversial Net neutrality regulations on the Internet." "The FCC's rush to take over the Internet is just the latest example of the need for fundamental reform to protect consumers," says Sen. Jim DeMint, who I'm sure truly only has the consumer's needs at heart — since his campaign contributions list AT&T in his top five donating organizations.

    I'm reminded of an old Adlai Stevenson quip:
    Supporter: "Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person!"
    Adlai: "That's not enough, madam, we need a majority!"
