Well, there is a bit of shorthand happening in this whole Net Neutrality debate.

The FCC doesn't make laws. They make suggestions to Congress, who then enact the recommendations into law.

The assumed outcome of any FCC regulation suggested by a Verizon shill who was appointed by Trump, and has been assisting in papering Congress' chambers with $100 bills from the ISP industry, is that Congress is bought-and-paid-for, and therefore any recommendations by the FCC will be rubber-stamped by Congress.
