Net neutrality on chopping block as Democrats fight to save FCC's rules

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/10/democrats-vow-to-save-net-neutrality-in-budget-fight-with-republicans/

        Senators Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Edward Markey
        (D-Mass.) today said they will try to preserve the Federal
        Communications Commission's net neutrality rules in a budget
        standoff with Republicans.  A Republican budget proposal that
        came out in June would prevent the FCC from enforcing its net
        neutrality rules until Internet providers who are suing the
        commission have exhausted all their legal options.

Is there *anything* today's wacko GOP can't get wrong? NOPE.
