Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri, said Monday she will be the 30th co-sponsor of a bill that will use the Congressional Review Act to reverse the FCC's vote to dismantle net neutrality rules. Under this law, Congress has the power to reverse a federal agency's ruling within 60 legislative days of it being made. But in order to do that, a majority in both houses of Congress must support the move, something that's unlikely in the current politically divisive environment.
"We've reached the magic number of 30 to secure a vote on the Senate floor, and that number will only continue to climb," Sen. Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, said in a statement Monday. "Republicans are faced with a choice — be on the right side of history and stand with the American people who support a free and open internet, or hold hands with the special interests who want to control the internet for their own profit."
