    When to Go Big on the First Amendment: Comparing FCC v. Fox and
    Citizens United <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=35989>

Posted on June 21, 2012 8:55 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=35989> by 
Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Today the Supreme Court decidedFCC v. FOX 
<http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-1293f3e5.pdf>, holding 
that due process concerns over the vagueness of the FCC's indecency 
rules required reversing some fines for brief nudity and expletives 
against broadcasters.

The Court could have gone bigger and reached a major First Amendment 
question, even considering whether "this Court's ruling in Pacifica (and 
the less rigorous standard of scrutiny it provided for the regulation of 
broadcasters, see 438 U. S. 726) should be overruled because
the rationale of that case has been overtaken by technological change 
and the wide availability of multiple other choices for listeners and 
viewers."

But the Court did not choose to address the First Amendment issue.  Why 
not? "Given this disposition [of the case on due process vagueness 
grounds , it is unnecessary for the Court to address the 
constitutionality of the current indecency policy as expressed in the 
Golden Globes Order and subsequent adjudications. The Court adheres to 
its normal practice of declining to decide cases not before it. See, 
e.g., Sweatt v. Painter, 339 U. S. 629, 631 (1950) ('Broader issues have 
been urged for our consideration, but we adhere to the principle of 
deciding constitutional questions only in the context of the particular 
case before the Court')."

That's decidedly NOT the course that the Supreme Court took in /Citizens 
United/.  As I explain in nauseating detail in /Constitutional Avoidance 
and Anti-Avoidance by the Roberts Court/ 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1436669>(Supreme 
Court Review), in Citizens United at the end of the Court's term the 
Court announced it would not be deciding the case by the Court's summer 
break as scheduled. Instead, the Court set the case for reargument in 
September, expressly asking the parties to brief the question whether 
the Court should overturn two of its precedents upholding the 
constitutionality of corporate spending limits in candidate elections. 
The constitutional issue had been abandoned by the law's challengers in 
the Court below and was not even mentioned in the challengers' 
jurisdictional statement. Moreover, the constitutional question could 
easily have been avoided through a plausible interpretation of the 
applicable campaign finance statute. Thus, in Citizens United, the Court 
gave itself an opportunity to apply a little-noticed principle of 
anti-avoidance: the Court will eschew a plausible statutory 
interpretation in order decide a thorny constitutional question.

And we know how it turned out: the Court reached out and decided the 
constitutional question. (See my Citizens United and the Illusion of 
Coherence <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1620576>, 
Michigan Law Review, for a detailed analysis of the opinion.)

What explains the differing treatment? Eugene Volokh speculates 
<http://www.volokh.com/2012/06/21/fcc-v-fox-television-decided-narrowly-on-lack-of-fair-notice-grounds/>, 
quite plausibly, that the Court was divided 4-4 on the First Amendment 
question (J. Sotomayor recused herself) and may have wanted to avoid 
issuing an opinion which would not have accomplished anything.  But I 
think there's also something else going on here.  The Court's views of 
the First Amendment are not uniformly in favor of broad free speech 
rights, asErwin Chemerinsky 
<http://www.arizonalawreview.org/2011/53-3/chemerinsky>and Monica Youn 
<http://www.acslaw.org/acsblog/all/monica-youn>have well documented and 
empirical studies confirmed 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/us/study-challenges-supreme-courts-image-as-defender-of-free-speech.html>.  
Think of Justice Alito, who is one of the strongest opponents of 
campaign finance regulation on the Court but who supports government 
limitations on crush videos 
<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2010/04/crush_democracy_but_save_the_kittens.html> 
and funeral protests <http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/09-751.ZD.html>.

When it comes to campaign finance, the five Justice majority is an 
activist Court, which is not only deciding against most campaign 
regulation (aside from disclosure).  It is a Court which is reaching out 
and deciding such cases broadly and against regulation.

For this reason, it baffles me <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=34885> to 
see the hard push to get the Court to grant cert. in the Montana case 
which is a /Citizens United /sequel. Things can and will get worse in 
the Supreme Court.  If you support reasonable campaign finance 
regulation (aside from disclosure), the Supreme Court is the /last/ 
place you want to be.

Bloomberg BNA 
<http://news.bna.com/mpdm/MPDMWB/split_display.adp?fedfid=27132676&vname=mpebulallissues&jd=a0d3g4v4y0&split=0>: 
"The FEC is prohibited from providing any information about a possible 
investigation of the complaint against Crossroads GPS until it is 
resolved. It appeared highly unlikely the deeply divided FEC could rule 
on the matter by Election Day. Under campaign finance law, if the FEC 
does not act on a complaint within 120 days, the complainant may file a 
lawsuit in federal court to force action. That raises the prospect of 
court action by the Obama campaign in the weeks before the Nov. 6 
election date, though any final ruling to require disclosure of 
Crossroads GPS donors appears highly unlikely before that time."
