Standing in Broadcast Flag Case
See Susan Crawford’s post on the court’s request
for additional evidence regarding the petitioners’ standing int he
broadcast flag case. Crawford concludes that “this court wants to
find standing.” Certainly, the two judges in the majority lay out
in some detail exactly how the petitioners can convince them. At
the same time, Judge Sentelle in dissent states that “standing is at
best questionable” and would have dismissed the case already. It seems
unlikely that he will change his mind even after the additional
briefing, so it looks as if petitioners must not only convince the
other two judges of standing but also rely on them alone to conclude
that the FCC lacked jurisdiction.
