Bill To Save Net Neutrality Is 46 Votes Short In US House (arstechnica.com)
Congressional Democrats seeking to reinstate net neutrality rules are still 46 votes short of getting the measure through the House of Representatives. Ars Technica reports: The U.S. Senate voted last month to reverse the Federal Communications Commission's repeal of net neutrality rules, with all members of the Democratic caucus and three Republicans voting in favor of net neutrality. A discharge petition needs 218 signatures to force a House vote on the same net neutrality bill, and 218 votes would also be enough to pass the measure. So far, the petition has signatures from 172 representatives, all Democrats. That number hasn't changed in two weeks. The outlook looks grim as Republicans have a 235-193 majority in the House. If you're curious to see which representatives haven't signed the petition, you can view this page maintained by net neutrality group Fight for the Future.
If you count those as successes, you're profoundly retarded and there's nothing that can be done for you anymore. You're too detached from reality. Sorry!
Yes, I count Trump meeting with Kim Jong-un a success, as does most non-retarded people.
(The excellent economic results didn't hurt, either - something else non-retarded people can appreciate.)
But I wasn't being sarcastic...
The FCC under Obama imposed the rules without legal justification. The FCC under Trump removed them.
If the rule is important, THERE SHOULD BE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION FOR IT.
Don't work to pass a "put it back" resolution.
WORK TO MAKE A LAW TO JUSTIFY IT.
