Consumers' Research Urges D.C. Circuit to Grant USF Challenge

The FCC's USF funding mechanism "violates the original understanding of the nondelegation doctrine, the modern intelligible-principle doctrine, and the private nondelegation doctrine" (see 2310060069), Consumers' Research told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in a reply brief Thursday (docket 23-1091). The court should "make clear that Congress cannot delegate such power, let alone to a private entity," the group said.
