resolutions in the past.
including mr. waxman, ms.
eshoo, mr. markey, ms.
schakowsky and mr. dingell.
they co-sponsored h.j.r. 72 in
2003.
and another was h.j.r. 28 in
2008.
both were resolutions
disapproving f.c.c. rules.
so my colleagues say amendments
were not in order.
that's because the language of
the congressional review act
says disprolve resolutions
would allow frustrate congress'
intent providing a straight up
or down vote in these approvals
of overreaching rules.
my colleagues say instead of
considering this legislation we
should be debating
comprehensive legislation for
the f.c.c. to regulate the
internet.
then, why did they refuse our
repeated proposal last
congress?
