Guest EXPAT Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 http://thelastword.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/22/12348874-cher-and-the-supreme-court?lite Cher changed our world today. The United States Supreme Court ruled in Cher's favor against the FCC, which had issued a fine because Cher used a word that the FCC doesn't like on television. Now thanks to her, we can say whatever we want. And thanks to an episode ofNYPD Blue, the Supreme Court also ruled nudity is now okay on TV, too. MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell explains the big victory for the First Amendment in the Rewrite. Quote
