Summary

FCC nominee confirmation hearing Tuesday will test whether three Republicans can lawfully run the commission. Senate Commerce questions Danielle Thumann Severs on Nov. 10 as Sen. Ron Wyden argues a 1982 party-balance clause voids all-Republican actions, while the common reading allows them and a third seat would protect the quorum.
