Sen Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) says she has enough signatures on her resolution of disapproval for it to get a full Senate vote under the Congressional Review Act. That is the legislative attempt to nullify the Federal Communications Commission's network neutrality rules, which many Republicans have targeted as an innovation and investment-chilling Internet regulation. The House has already passed the resolution and Sen Hutchinson said that, armed with over 40 signatures, she is hoping to get a floor vote as early as next week, and in advance of the Nov. 21 date when the rules go into effect.
