Senate Passes Net Neutrality CRA Resolution 52-47

The Senate voted 52-47 Wednesday to pass the Congressional Review Act resolution aimed at reversing the FCC order to rescind 2015 net neutrality rules (Senate Joint Resolution-52), as expected.

Three Republicans voted in favor of the measure -- Sens. Susan Collins of Maine; John Kennedy of Louisiana; and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. All three also had voted earlier Wednesday in favor of a motion to begin debate on the resolution, though Kennedy cautioned reporters then he wasn't yet committed to supporting the measure.

Supporters of the measure must still secure House passage of its version (House Joint Resolution-129) and convince President Donald Trump not to veto it.
