What an astonishing assertion is contained therein:
A Republican House staffer told the Wall Street Journal that nothing is off the table, including preemptive counter-legislation to block reclassification and cut the FCC’s budget, or invoking the Congressional Review Act, which grants Congress the power to overturn major rules created by federal agencies.
The version I saw in the paper WSJ used the words "or invoking the little-used Congressional Review Act..."
I pass this along because I am stunned that such legislation, little-used or not, HAS NEVER BEFORE BEEN USED THAT I'VE SEEN.
Do you or any of the other more learned Freepers know what is meant by this? So we can throw out EPA regs as we choose? Can we not throw out Amnesty regs that we know are illegal?
How many other nuclear warheads do we have in our aresenal that the cowards in D.C. pretend were lost in the wash?
A vote to override a regulation has to be signed by the President or his veto overridden. Thus it’s probably never been used since those making regulations are doing the President’s bidding.
