Not Likely

By Brad

Despite all the talk about repealing and/or defunding the FCC’s net neutrality regulations, Cecilia Kang of the Washington Post reports actually getting the job done in Congress will be an uphill battle:

To become law, the two bills at play—one that would overturn rules and the other that would withhold appropriations for the agency—would have to pass a House and Senate vote. And President Obama would have to sign on to the legislation.

President Obama has long been a strong supporter of net neutrality, so it’s expected that even if the legislation would land on his desk it would be quickly vetoed.
