Federal Communications Commission]. Fox Television was challenging the FCC's indecency standards and the way it punished broadcasters for airing shows that contain profanity. The network argued that the government violated the First Amendment by embarking on a "radical reinterpretation and expansion" of its power to punish broadcasters for indecent speech. The network contended that the FCC sharply changed its standards for profanity, that the standards were vague and made little sense in the face of industry changes. The FCC fined Fox for language used by Cher and Nicole Richie on the live broadcasts of the 2002 and 2003 Billboard Music Awards, respectively. Language used may offend some viewers. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/195903-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/195903-1 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT Panelists talked about the role of the media in covering national security issues.

The Court must decide if the Pentagon has to release the identities of Guantanamo Bay detainees. The case stems from a 2007 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Associated Press (AP). The government turned over transcripts from the tribunals but redacted facts about each detainee's identity. In March 2008 a U.S. district judge rejected the government's argument that the detainees' names should be kept secret to protect their privacy rights and ordered the government to give unredacted copies of the hearings to the Associated Press. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/205288-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/205288-1 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT Legal scholars spoke about free speech and First Amendment cases heard by the Supreme Court in the 2006-2007 term.

Taylor]. A lower court dismissed the Orkin family's claim to a painting in the possession of actress Elizabeth Taylor on the grounds that the California three-year statute of limitations had run out. Elizabeth Taylor bought the painting in 1963 at Sotheby's auction house in London, believing the artwork belonged to another German Jew, Alfred Wolf. Four descendants of the late Margarete Mauthner sued seeking to claim the Van Gogh painting, "View of the Asylum and Chapel at St. Remy," lost when she fled Nazi Germany in 1939. The plaintiffs claim that Taylor should return the painting under the Holocaust Victims Redress Act, the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, and other "judicially formulated policies that encourage prospective buyers of artworks on the international market" to take precautions against acquiring Nazi-confiscated and other stolen materials. Mr. Hamilton is attorney for the Orkin family. Mr. Reiss is attorney for Elizabeth Taylor. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/196779-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/196779-1 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT On Monday, January 29, 2007, Senator Arlen Specter introduced legislation from the Senate floor on allowing cameras in the Supreme Court.
