Janet Jackson Super Bowl 'Wardrobe Malfunction': White House Asks Supreme Court To Reassess FCC Fine

White House Asks Supreme Court To Reassess Janet's 'Wardrobe Malfunction'

Janet's Jackson's infamous 2004 'wardrobe malfunction' may be coming under scrutiny again.

The White House has asked the United States Supreme Court to review the Federal Communications Commission's decision to fine CBS $550,000 for airing a split-second shot of Jackson’s breast during the 2004 Super Bowl.

As Politico reports, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. is arguing that the $550,000 fine was warranted "because the indecency rules cover 'fleeting nudity.'"

The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia had earlier thrown out the fine against CBS as "arbitrary."
