Re: Law trumps Contracts

The FCC can't make laws, only Congress can do that. The FCC was given the power to regulate the industry by Congress, but it cannot make laws itselves. The only real power it have is the ability to revoke licenses, which it uses to get the industry to obey it. But because the mandates aren't laws, many are shot down in court.
