There are several INACCURACIES in this "email" that is the basis for this thread:

This for one:

during primetime viewing (Supreme Court's 'safe-harbour') hours when children are most likely to be watching television.

It is NOT the Supreme Court, but the FCC itself:

The bill is modeled after the FCC's indecency safe harbor, which requires broadcasters to air indecent programming only between 10 p.m.-6 a.m. The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of an indecency safe harbor.

Also I an unable to find any source/Google that states CBS is suing the FCC.

The networks ALWAYS appeal any ruling that goes against them when the FCC violates the indecency rules.

Normally all it results in is a lowering of the monetary amount to be paid as a fine and nothing more.

I'm guessing this pompus fool is associating an appeal of a ruling with "suing" the FCC.

Which is a false assumption on High and Mighty's part.

As far as this Safe Harbour thingy...all I can find on it pertains to the Federal TRADE Comission and the Clintonian Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
