Senate Democrats on Wednesday voted to start debate on a measure to restore the “net neutrality” regulations that the Federal Communications Commission killed late last year, thanks to a parliamentary tactic that allowed them to seize control of the floor over the objection of Republican leaders.

The 52-47 vote allowed the debate to begin, and signals there are enough “yes” votes in the Senate to pass the resolution Wednesday afternoon. The resolution being debated was written under the Congressional Review Act, and if passed by the House and Senate, it would reverse the FCC’s decision to kill the Obama-era rule that requires the government to regulate the Internet like it does the telecommunications industry.
