Supreme Court of the United States

Federal Communications Commission v. CBS Corp. — Roberts, J., concurring

June 29, 2012567 U.S. 953

Summary

Chief Justice Roberts concurred in the denial of certiorari, expressing skepticism about the Third Circuit's Administrative Procedure Act reasoning regarding the FCC's fleeting indecency policy, but noting the issue was moot as the FCC had since abandoned the fleeting expletive exception entirely. Justice Ginsburg, concurring, noted the remand in FCC v. Fox offered an opportunity to reconsider indecency policy in light of technological advances.
