WASHINGTON—A civil rights group filed papers with the Supreme Court on Sept. 23 urging it to tear away at the legal underpinnings of the modern administrative state.
The Washington-based New Civil Liberties Alliance filed a petition for certiorari, or review, with the court in hopes of overturning the so-called Brand X doctrine that the Supreme Court articulated in its 2005 decision in National Cable and Telecommunications Association v. Brand X Internet Services.
