[BC] Senate begins overturn of FCC Media Consolidation

[Mike McCarthy]

It's a resolution.  READ...Non-Binding.

Until it's introduced as a Bill and passed into Law (which as you 
point our Bush would veto), the FCC's actions are "it" for now and 
until they change it.  Which they could if they get wind that enough 
representatives and senators to overturn a veto would vote in favor 
of such a bill should it come up.
