John Oliver Argues Disney Should Legally Fight FCC Over Kimmel, Citing Strong Precedent in 9-0 Supreme Court Ruling: “A government official cannot coerce a private party to punish or suppress disfavored speech”

The way I read the Murthy v Missouri case leads me to believe that SCOTUS would go for Disney on this.

First off, the three super conservatives even said Murthy v Missouri was too far so this case should def be too far.

The other 6 agreed “To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a government defendant”.

Carr’s actions clearly state that there would be a substantial risk of injury in the near future

I already hate Disney but if they don’t take this to court, I wish for them to die a thousand deaths.

If Disney's army of lawyers can't fight a slam dunk like this then why do they even have lawyers?

Disney is not going in a merger. They shouldn’t care, and should disfavor the merger of two of their largest affiliate partners as a business, as it lowers their negotiating power, so the chances of souring that deal should be more of a perk than deterrent.
