SCOTUS is going to decide whether you and I can hear the F-word and the S-word be uttered on the one eye green monster called the television:
The court will review the Federal Communications Commission's policy that even a one-time utterance of an obscene word on radio and television broadcasts during daytime and early evening hours is subject to punishment.
The lawsuit by Fox Broadcasting arose after the commission reprimanded the broadcaster for incidents in 2002 and 2003, when singer Cher and celebrity Nicole Richie, during live award shows, used variations of a vulgar four-letter word.
The reprimand came after the FCC in 2004 reversed its position and said even "fleeting" expletives exposed the network to sanctions.
And I wonder if Cheney will be giving a muzzle since he told Leahy to go f---k yourself. This is getting ridiculous…
