From what I can see, it's a simple bureaucratic SNAFU. The morons in Congress gave authorization to one alphabet agency (the FCC), but gave the funding to a different agency (the FTC). The judge really had no option other than to rule that the idiots in Congress screwed up.
Good grief, are we governed by a bunch of inept and confused simpletons or what?
Some wise person said that we get the government we deserve.

LOL! Yes, I'm afraid we are. They're far more interested in money and personal power than they are in supporting the Constitution. Problem is, I don't know what to do about it.
