The Supreme Court spent part of last week scrutinizing the government?s crackdown on so-called ?fleeting? expletives in the case of FCC v. Fox Television Stations. (One such example came from Bono, whose fleetingly obscene acceptance speech at the 2003 Golden Globes was deemed by the FCC to be a threat ?to the well-being of the nation?s children.?)
