No. Shifter must have misread it. Pooler wrote the decision for the majority, and was a Clinton appointee. Hall joined the decision and was a W. appointee. Leval dissented, and was a Clinton appointee.
FWIW, the decision is here.
My favorite comment about it is Jonathan Adler's at the Volokh Conspiracy:
- Is Kevin Martin Indecent?
Yesterday the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's struck down the Federal Communications Commission policy governing "fleeting expletives" as "arbitrary and capricious." FCC Chairman Kevin Martin responded with an expletive-laden statement. Given the Second Circuit's ruling, could a network air Martin's remarks without fear of federal sanction? Discuss.
