Finally. The Supreme Court will decide what does and doesn't qualify as profanity on television. No more FCC double standards. No more partisan-tainted interpretations. And hopefully, no more broadcasters biting their nails or gritting their teeth trying to figure out what the law is other than the personal will of Kevin Martin, who as one person once joked, wanted to ban the "F" in FCC.
Let me be clear. I am not against profanity regulations on broadcast television, even though I think their effectiveness and legitimacy is highly questionable with so much cable and Internet penetration. I am against government agencies that can't draw a straight line.
The high court hears arguments in the fall.
