| | | Supreme Court Holds Oral Arguments in Contributions Case | |
The U.S. Supreme Court held oral arguments last week in the case reviewing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit decision that granted Consumers’ Research, et al.’s petition for review of the first quarter 2022 universal service contribution factor.
The Justices' questions focused specifically on the Universal Service Fund (USF) statute itself, and if Congress provided the FCC a limit, whether qualitative or quantitative, enough to satisfy an intelligible principle standard. Their questions focused very little on the operation of USF itself, whether contributions are a fee or a tax, or if any delegation or subdelegation was unconstitutional. Counsel for the FCC argued the nondelegation doctrine should be revived, however, this is not the right case to do so.
Listen to the full argument.
The Court's opinion should be released in June or early July.
