Following opinion announcements, the Supreme Court will hear arguments this morning in FCC v. Consumers’ Research, a challenge to a FCC program that subsidizes telephone and internet services to schools, libraries, and underserved areas. The case has the potential to significantly curtail the power of federal agencies as challengers are also inviting the justices to revive the nondelegation doctrine, a legal theory conservative lawyers and business groups have been urging the court in recent years to bring back. The court last used the nondelegation doctrine in 1935. Listen to arguments live just after 10 a.m. EDT.
