on

""The Committee Republicans are side-stepping the carefully calibrated process that Congress itself has set up to allow parties that disagree with administrative decisions to seek a remedy," blogged Stadford Law Professor Barbara Van Schewick following the vote (http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2015/06/house-appropriations-bill-thre...). "The power to grant a stay belongs to the courts, not to Congress.

For her part, Schewick does not disagree with the FCC decision. "The bill represents a dangerous power-grab that undermines the judicial process and disregards the will of the American people," she said."
