Unclear on the concept: FCC Chairman Kevin Martin

[Rimbo]

Ripped straight from the Slashdot summary:

Reuters reports that the 2nd circuit has struck down the FCC’s recent ruling on indecency, in a case brought by Fox. The court said the U.S. Federal Communications Commission was ‘arbitrary and capricious’ in setting a new standard for defining indecency. ‘Republican FCC Chairman Kevin Martin angrily retorted that he found it “hard to believe that the New York court would tell American families that ‘sh*t’ and ‘f@ck’ are fine to say on broadcast television during the hours when children are most likely to be in the audience … If we can’t restrict the use (of the two obscenities) during prime time, Hollywood will be able to say anything they want, whenever they want,” Martin said in a statement.’ No word yet on whether the agency will appeal.

Being able to say whatever you want whenever you want? What does this Court think, we live in a country that supports freedom of speech or something?

Why do you insist on deifying the First Amendment, Rimbo?
