Re: FCC Decency Standards for Cable

Saw this earlier and I simply cannot believe that of all the issues facing this country, this is Stevens top priority. One he's willing to take to the highest court and waste everyone's time with....

quote:
"There has to be some standard of decency," he said. But he also cautioned that "No one wants censorship." Stevens said he disagreed "violently" with assertions by the cable industry that Congress does not have the authority to impose limits on its content.

"If that's the issue they want to take on, we'll take it on and let the Supreme Court decide," he said.
Though I suppose by the time it gets there, the Supreme Court could be stocked with far-right religious Conservatives who think Sponge-Bob is gay and should be legislated.

Re: FCC Decency Standards for Cable

Though I agree with almost all of the comments in this thread, Karl, I think you went a bit over the top:

"Though I suppose by the time it gets there, the Supreme Court could be stocked with far-right religious Conservatives who think Sponge-Bob is gay and should be legislated."

Freedom of speech/expression is probably the only constitutional right we have that cannot be so blatantly abused. Besides, the gay rights lobby is too powerful to let sponge-bob take the fall.
