Rupert Murdoch Bought Off the Entire US Supreme Court

[lawrocket 3]

It's the only explanation for why the SCOTUS ruled unanimously against the FCC in "FCC v. Fox Television Stations, Inc."

Well, it turns out that the FCC fines were thrown out because "The fundamental principle that laws regulating persons or entities must give fair notice of what conduct is required or proscribed," (This, of course, is the whole reason why I stand against the whole "living, breathing Constitution" argument. "Living, breathing Constitution" is a nicer sounding name for "we think it should say this and that everybody should have known we would say it should say this," which is another word for "arbitrary.")

The SCOTUS dodged the First Amendment issue, which is fine. But this was unanimous. I like it.

Sure hope they are willing to apply that to other decisions (and wish that lower courts would consistently adopt that reasoning).
