Action by Congress to block the rules is an outrageous rules, but as a practical matter, those rules, which were adopted last October, have not gone into effect and, because of action taken earlier this month by the FCC, the most significant of the rules wouldn't have gone into effect even if the Senate didn't act.

It sucks.
