Court Will Examine Profanity Rules: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance

Court Will Examine Profanity Rules: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance: "WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court on Monday stepped into a legal fight over the use of curse words on the airwaves, the high court's first major case on broadcast indecency in 30 years.

The case concerns a Federal Communications Commission policy that allows for fines against broadcasters for so-called 'fleeting expletives,' one-time uses of the F-word or its close cousins."
