Supreme Court sends back ruling on Janet Jackson Print E-mail
Wednesday, 05/06/2009
The Supreme Court ordered a lower court Monday to reconsider its decision tossing out a fine against CBS for Janet Jackson's exposed breast during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2004.

In a brief order, the justices sent the case of the "wardrobe malfunction" back to the appeals court in light of a related high-court decision last week. That decision, in a case involving expletives uttered by Cher and other celebrities, upheld the Federal Communications Commission's sanctioning of broadcast TV for even the one-time use of expletives related to sexual or excretory functions.
