The current FCC case [
PDF] before the U.S. Supreme Court presents a fascinating dilemma for the judges:
how do you respectfully discuss the legality of profane words in the nation's highest court? And for reporters: how do you report on the specifics of the case? It seems decisions vary across publications:
NYT,
Washington Post (reg req),
LA Times,
Wall Street Journal,
Slate,
The Atlantic,
Bloomberg,
AP,
McClatchy. As for the judges themselves,
they opted to allow only substitute terms.
