Later this year, the Supreme Court will announce a decision impacting the ability of the Federal Communications Commission to regulate single utterances of swear words on broadcast television. This case, Fox Television v. FCC, is ultimately a matter of administrative law, the body of law that provides a framework for the existence and operation of our federal agencies; consequently, the Court may well not need to reach the constitutional question lurking in the background. That said, the ability of the government to keep swearing off the air during peak viewing hours (6 a.m. – 10 p.m.) will reach the Court soon; beyond that, it certainly makes for a good debate.
