FSF Calls CRA FCC Digital Discrimination Order Resolution 'Necessary and Proper'

The Free State Foundation believes Republicans' use of Congressional Review Act authority in their resolution of disapproval to undo the FCC’s digital discrimination order (H.J.Res. 107/S.J.Res. 64) is "a "necessary and proper" means of scuttling the commission's "unlawful" action. The CRA "provides a means for Congress to rein in overreaching administrative agencies that have abused their authority," FSF tweeted. Republicans face long odds of enacting H.J.Res. 107/S.J.Res. 64 because it's unlikely any Senate Democrats will back the measure and President Joe Biden would probably veto it (see 2402260001). The digital discrimination order faces multiple legal challenges, now consolidated in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (see 2403140042).
