CHADHA'S GHOST

If you've followed the FCC rule changes, you probably already know that Senator Dorgan (D-ND) has talked about introducing a "resolution of disapproval" concerning the June rule changes. Here's what WaPo says:

Before the full Senate vote, Sen. Byron L. Dorgan (D-N.D.), who opposes the new rules, plans to introduce a little-used "resolution of disapproval," a tool that Congress can use to overthrow agency regulations. If passed, it would wipe out all of the FCC's June rules.

Interestingly, a google search on Dorgan, "resolution of disapproval" and Chadha turns up nothing related to the present situation. Why is that interesting? Stay tuned (I'm off to class now). . .
