STATEMENT OF FCC COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI ON THE U.S. SUPREME 
COURT’S DECISION IN FCC v. FOX TELEVISION STATIONS, INC.
Today’s narrow decision by the U.S. Supreme Court does not call into question the 
Commission’s overall indecency enforcement authority or the constitutionality of the 
Commission’s current indecency policy.  Rather, it highlights the need for the Commission to 
make its policy clear.  I look forward to working with my colleagues to provide the clarity that 
both parents and broadcasters deserve.  At this point, the best way for us to proceed is to get to 
work resolving the multitude of indecency complaints that have piled up during this litigation.
