The woman many television viewers recognize as “Judge Jeanine” has submitted a Motion to Strike with the D.C. District Court that again asks the judicial body to dismiss the American Broadcasting Companies (ABC) “First Amendment retaliation claim” against the FCC. As previously argued, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated, the Walt Disney Co. unit’s argument “fails because the impetus for the early
renewal processing of Plaintiffs’ broadcast licenses was the need for more information to support the Commission’s antidiscrimination investigation.”
Thus, she said, the Commission’s interests in pursuing its investigation “are not pretextual.”
