Inhofe to Hold FCC Commissioner Nomination

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 09:14:55 CDT

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) announced that he has placed a hold on the nomination of Mike O'Rielly to be FCC Commissioner until O'Rielly publically commits to vote to overturn the current Ligado Order.

"Over the past few months, I have sent letters, held hearings and called countless officials to highlight what we all know to be true: the FCC's Ligado Order is flawed and will lead to significant harm to our military and the thousands of individuals and businesses that rely on GPS. The Trump administration understands this and has urged the FCC to reconsider the Ligado Order.

"I am holding Commissioner O'Rielly's nomination until he publically states that he will vote to overturn the current Ligado Order. I understand that O'Rielly has stated that he would give 'due consideration to a stay' 'based on new data or evidence' but that isn't enough. This isn't just about our military, but all users of GPS are united in opposition. All of America can't be wrong, and he understands that. I need his commitment in plain English to vote to overturn the order, not just consider it, before I will allow his nomination to proceed."
