COMMENTARY BY RANDOLPH J. MAY

The FCC Has Become A Law Unto Itself

Free State Foundation President Randolph J. May: This year, the agency increasingly has claimed for itself “the power to impose sanctions upon those it regulates for actions the regulated parties could not have known in advance to be unlawful. This conduct ignores fundamental rule of law and due process norms because the agency is asserting authority to penalize regulated parties without adopting, in advance, knowable, predictable rules.”
