Sixth Circuit non-administratively stays the FCC's network neutrality order, citing the major questions doctrine: https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/1/24211570/net-neutrality-sixth-circuit-stay-blocked-fcc
For me, this shows the essential lawlessness of the MQD. There are non-trivial arguments that broadband Internet services should be classified as an "information" service or as a "tecommunications” service—indeed, the FCC has had BOTH interpretations upheld by the courts. At least Judge Sutton’s concurrence actually reads the relevant terms of the statute.
