   "This FCC does not have the authority, the ability, or the   
   constitutional right to police content or punish broadcasters for   
   speech the government dislikes. If it were to take the   
   unprecedented step of trying to revoke broadcast licenses, which are   
   held by local stations rather than national networks, it would run   
   headlong into the First Amendment and fail in court on both the facts   
   and the law."

        Even though your position has failed, if it were true, Jimmy   
   still hasn't experienced any government disciplinary acts.

        Sad they don't support the First uniformly. "Americans United"   
   only support ultra Liberal speech and views.   
        But donate to the organization if it fits your own views.
