As has been reported, the House Judiciary Committee passed the Internet Freedom & Non-Discrimination Act" Thursday by a vote of 20 to 13. With over 750,000 people petitioning Congress to prevent broadband discrimination it's rather incredible that some representatives still voted against this bill. Given that this issue has huge bi-partisan support, and cuts across the political spectrum, forging, amazingly an incredibly strong left-right coalition of supporters, why did the Republican party organize many of its Judiciary committee members to vote against the bill? Interested in finding out how representatives voted? Here's the tally:
