With decisions ranging from broadcast indecency to union fees and corporate fines, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the term’s biggest and likely most controversial rulings to come next week.
The justices issued four opinions, including a narrow ruling in the long-awaited challenge to the indecency regulations of the Federal Communications Commission: FCC v. Fox, which was argued more than five months ago. After Thursday’s rulings, five cases remain (counting healthcare and life without parole for juvenile murders as one each). The Court will return on Monday and may schedule an additional decision day that week.
