A procrastination in of itself
Even if it does pass the senate it’s not getting past the House or Trump, still it’s good to make them out their money where their mouths are.

House yes, Trump on the other hand is erratic enough that he might break with the party and sign it, I think.
Not that I expect him to do the right thing. Maybe if you phrase it as the WRONG thing to do, you might get somewhere.

More like phrase it as being good for him more so than not signing it.

Oh, bother.
There's no way in hell Trump will sign it if it gets to him. If he gave a shit about NN he wouldn't have chosen Pai in the first place.

It still may be possible to dupe him into signing it.
He's stupid enough for that.

His handlers wont let him. Too much cash on the table.

Well, the Senate just voted to overturn the FCC's decision 52-47. Now we just gotta make it through the House.
Sure and if it makes it through the House (spoiler: it won't) then Trump still needs to sign it.
As I said before the good part of this is that when it fails it can be used as ammunition against the Republicans come midterms.

Huh. Besides Murkowski and Collins there was a third Republican who broke ranks named John Kennedy (R-LA). Never heard his name come up before.

Even if/when this attempt gets quashed, it may be possible to gum up the works long enough with it that the worst effects of the repeal can be stalled indefinitely. Considering all the fuckery surrounding the repeal, I have no compunctions about resorting to Bothering by the Book (I think that's the right trope) to fight back.
Plus yeah, ammunition for the midterms.

Considering the FCC already has a date for the repeal to go through, I wouldn't put money on it being stalled indefinitely.

... I was referring to the worst impacts of the repeal and not the thing itself, but yeah.

Noteworthy, I guess, because they're on opposite sides.

Californi's net neutrality bill is expected to get a vote tomorrow.
Hopefully it passes and starts a domino effect.

Didn't it already pass weeks ago?

I thought so too, but the article is from today.

Trump is campaigning for net neutrality opponent Marsha Blackburn.
Trump is a Double Reverse Quadruple Agent trying to torpedo her plans to kill net neutrality?

Also, as the public learns more about this issue over time, the polls change, and that, somehow, changes what the Senators believe about this issue.
