Description

In a significant victory for constitutional order, the en banc U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has ruled in Consumers’ Research v. Federal Communications Commission that Congress unlawfully delegated legislative power to the FCC, allowing it to control the Universal Service Fund (USF). NCLA played a pivotal role in this outcome, filing an amicus curiae brief that highlighted the legal flaws in the FCC's authority.

Join Vec and NCLA General Counsel and Senior Litigation Counsel Zhonette Brown as they delve into this decision, its implications for the FCC, and what it means for American taxpayers.
