Yeah, but it's not for or against net neutrality, it's just against the FCC. But I have been reminded of the FCC by the millions of demands I've seen for us to ask them to save us wrt net neutrality. The FCC is just five appointed assholes, they aren't in the saving business. Laws need to be made by lawmakers if people want them to stick.

And I believe the FCC has zero jurisdiction over any wired connection in the United States of America, but I may be in the minority on that. (It used to be that the FCC couldn't stop people from saying FUCK on cable TV, because those connections were wired. If that is the case, how can they tell anyone how to move packets across wired network connections?)
