FCC Asks Supreme Court To Review 3d Circuit “Wardrobe Malfunction” Ruling

The FCC is asking the Supreme Court to review the 3rd Circuit’s ruling in the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” case. The 3rd Circuit ruled for CBS, which had appealed fines that the agency levied against it when a bit of Ms. Jackson’s breast was exposed during the 2004 Super Bowl half-time show.  The high court is currently deciding a related case, that of FCC v. Fox, out of the 2nd Circuit, which was argued earlier this year.
