Could the Coleman-DeMint-Thune amendment be coming back? Last week, an objection blocked Sen. Coleman's (R-MN) attempt to introduce the amendment, which would prohibit the FCC from re-instituting the "Fairness Doctrine," and thus kept the amendment from being debated and voted on.

a spokesman for Coleman told Cybercast News Service that Fairness Doctrine opponents are "actively seeking" ways to reintroduce it this week.

"I think there's still an opportunity to do it on [the Defense authorization bill], so we might bring it back up," spokesman LeRoy Coleman said. "It was blocked once [but] hopefully we can have a debate.
