I cannot understand the captioned sentence. Please help me.
Republicans hoped to pre-empt the F.C.C. vote with legislation, but Senate Democrats insisted on waiting until after Thursday’s F.C.C. vote before even beginning to talk about legislation for an open Internet. Even Mr. Thune, the architect of draft legislation to override the F.C.C., said Democrats had stalled what momentum he could muster.

The FCC is going to have a vote on Thursday. Senator Thune was trying to get legislation to make the FCC do what he wanted. The Democrats prevented him from doing that by saying they want to wait until after the Thursday FCC vote. So whatever momentum he was able to get toward passing his bill was stopped. |
