Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: Federal Communications Commission v. Consumers’ Research


Listen Later

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is authorized by Congress to regulate interstate and international communications and, as part of that, to maintain a universal service fund that requires telecommunications carriers to contribute quarterly based on their revenues. In order to calculate these contribution amounts, the FCC contracts the help of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC).
The constitutionality of these delegations of power—to the FCC by Congress and to USAC by the FCC—are now being challenged in court by Consumers’ Research. Join this FedSoc Forum to discuss this case’s oral argument, delivered on March 26, 2025.
Featuring:

Prof. Chad Squitieri, Assistant Professor of Law, Catholic University of America
Moderator: Adam Griffin, Separation of Powers Attorney, Pacific Legal Foundation
