Some web sites that may aid you in this project include…Http://oyez.orghttp://www.supremecourtus.gov/http://guide.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/index.htmlhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/supcourt/supcourt.htm Name of the case: FCC v. Fox Television Stations Case Number: 07-582 Date the case was decided: April 28 2009 First Party Involved: FCC Second Party Involved: fox television stations Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr Justice John Paul Stevens Justice Antonin Scalia Justice Anthony M. Kennedy Justice Clarence Thomas Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Justice Stephen G. Breyer Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Justice Sonia Sotomayor, A summary of the case; who did what :(Limited to 672total characters) In the music awards there were people using the F word and other words like it. The FCC said that it is un-acceptable to put on television because children can easily accesses and be in harm from this language. The FCC lawyer said that if a child just turns on a television and he hears the words said on that music awards show then he might wonder what the F word is and use it to not knowing. Also the F word is not okay because it refers to sexual content, even if they are not using it in content of the word. Also they are saying that they must protect children from this because of the first amendment. Also they are talking about how the FCC did not block the words that they needed to. The back argument was that there is not much harm from hearing a single word. Example: if there is a bubble child would hear the words on that show they would not be completely harmed. Also if they did not want their children to watch bad thing on cable they should not pay money for cable or just use a v chip. Then Mr. Philips says “is people are saying “mother Fucker, eat shit and fuck the America.” And walks away from them and says those aren’t indecent.” So the question in this case is asking “Is the FCC's order imposing liability on Fox Television Stations for fleeting expletives spoken during two nationally broadcast awards ceremonies is "arbitrary and capricious" under the Administrative Procedure Act, based on the FCC's previous acceptance of similar expletives?” Majority opinion; A short summary(Limited to 672total characters) Splitting 5-4, the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the government’s power under existing law to ban the use on radio and TV of even a single four-letter word that is considered indecent — but left open the question of whether the ban might violate the First Amendment, at least in some situations. The Court, in an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia, said the Federal Communications Commission’s switch in policy to ban even a fleeting use of such a word was “entirely rational” under the law that governs federal administrative powers. The opinion referred to the banned words as the “F-word” and the “S-word” but not go on to fill out their actual spelling. Justice Scalia also did not spell them out in his oral announcement of the decision. His written opinion, in a case dealing with uses of those four-letter words during performance awards broadcasts involving celebrities, took a swipe at “foul-mouthed statements from Hollywood.” Basically, the ruling simply means that the FCC provided a sufficient explanation of why it switched from a more relaxed policy on “dirty words” to a near-total ban on “fleeting expletives.” The ban applies on radio and TV from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. only. Dissenting opinion; a short summary(Limited to 672total characters) Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote the main dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Ginsburg, David H. Souter and John Paul Stevens. Ginsburg and Stevens wrote separating dissenting opinions speaking for themselves. They say that the court is making a mistake in saying it is indecent. Neither the opinion of the Court, nor Justice Powell's concurring opinion, adopted such a far-reaching interpretation Concurring Opinion(s); a Short Summary (Limited to 672total characters) none What specific Amendment or statute the case concerns?(Limited to 672total characters) This case dealt with amendment one of the United States constitution and the bill of rights because the freedom of speech was being taken away. Include a sort synopsis of your views of this case and how you feel that the case has impacted American society and the history of U.S. law. (Limited to 1250total characters) I think this case did not impact America very much. I think this topic was to in important and it was to unreal. On a modern television saying that there cannot be any of the “four letter” on television because there might be a small percent of the population that if they heard that it would cause major problem, but they are still going to use cable that is not monitored and
