Just for them to be axed again when Cheeto or any other GOP troll comes back into office? They need to be actual law and not something set up by the FCC

That requires 60 votes in the senate whereas a FCC nominee only requires 51 votes and one of them could be the VP's tiebreaker vote.

Please remember that Obama nominated Ajit Pai to be an FCC commissioner in 2011 at the recommendation of Mitch McConnell, so let’s make sure not to do anything that stupid ever again.

Yes please. Also, please kindly remove the multiple fake comments in opposition of NN that were submitted using my identity. And shove a giant boot up Ajit Pai's ass for good measure.
