Consumers' Research, et al., Petitioners v. Federal Communications Commission, et al., 23-456, Reply of petitioners Consumers Research, Main Document (U.S. May. 21, 2024)
If nondelegation means anything, it prohibits Congress from handing an “independent” agency the power to raise billions of dollars in taxes from the general public, based only on vague statutory “principles” that are “aspirational only.” Tex.
The USF scheme is then worsened by the fact that the FCC approves “by default” the tax figures proposed by the self-interested Universal Service Administrative Company—a serious private nondelegation violation that independently warrants certiorari.
In any event, Judge Newsom explained why this scheme only worsens the problem: “Further diminishing the likelihood of any real guidance, the term ‘universal service’—the very object of the entire program—is defined only in the most ambiguous way” and will “‘evolv[e]’” over time at the FCC’s discretion.
Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States, 295 U.S. 495 (1935), and Panama Refining Co. v. Ryan, 293 U.S. 388 (1935), which likewise featured statutes with lengthy lists of vague, precatory, and competing policies, but no directions on how to balance or limit them.” Pet.3.
Here, that happens every quarter, to the tune of billions of dollars a year in compelled contributions flowing to USAC, whose website brags that the organization is run by members of industry “interest groups.” Pet.10.
