Can the removal of Net Neutrality be blocked or delayed in Congress?

[Ken Burch]

Just wondering if somebody could post the range of legislative tactics available on this.

1. Congress, which created the FCC, can certainly pass whatever legislation it likes. n/t

2. Courts (where 19 AGs led by NY have filed suit might be the only option for a "stay") but probably

low likelihood. Congress could act to enact supervening legislation that would counter the decision, but that would take time. Even though I think a lot of RWers in Congress are getting an earful too, whether they would act with Dems to do so and do so quickly may be a long shot.

3. You'd think the cyber-libertarians would want NN saved-it's been a boon for their cause.

n/t.

4. They need to check with their big donors

....in other words: Not so much.

5. Congress could technically repeal the rule under the Congressional Review Act

by majority vote in the Senate, no filibuster. That resolution would then have to be signed by Trump or his veto overridden...

The window for this expedited action is only open for 60 "legislative days" from when the rule is published.

It goes without saying...this is not a likely course of events.
