*''FCC v. Consumers' Rsch.'', Nos. 24-354, 24-422, 2025 U.S. LEXIS 2498, at *45 (June 27, 2025) (upholding the Universal Service Fund for rural internet connectivity because "When Congress amended the Communications Act in 1996, it provided the Commission with clear guidance on how to promote universal service using carrier contributions. Congress laid out the “general policy” to be achieved, the “principle[s]” and standards the FCC must use in pursuing that policy, and the “boundaries” the FCC may not cross. J. W. Hampton, 276 U. S., at 409; American Power & Light, 329 U. S., at 105. Our precedents do not require more. Nor do they prevent the Commission, in carrying out Congress’s policy, from obtaining the Administrator’s assistance in projecting revenues and expenses, so that carriers pay the needed amount. For nearly three decades, the work of Congress and the Commission in establishing universal-service programs has led to a more fully connected country. And it has done so while leaving fully intact the separation of powers integral to our Constitution.") (6-3 decision, Thomas/Alito/Gorsuch in dissent; Court ducked the issue of non-delegation doctrine).
