Senate Dems move to force net neutrality vote

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Democrats on Wednesday formally launched their push to bring a vote on restoring net neutrality protections to the Senate floor.

“I believe that today kicks off the most important day for the internet that the Senate has ever seen,” said Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), who is spearheading the net neutrality push in the Senate.

Markey and other Democrats portrayed the issue as one of morality and fairness, arguing that Republican Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to scrap net neutrality would hurt consumers while protecting large corporations.

“Our Republican friends say let the free market prevails,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) “We don’t do that for highways.”
