The Supreme Court in an unsigned decision Wednesday sided with Republicans in a dispute over expanding discounted television advertising rates beyond political candidates ahead of the midterms.
The unsigned order from a majority of the court paused a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals from the 4th Circuit that could have allowed the courts to quickly resolve how far discounted ad rates extend. The ruling effectively slows down the court fight for months, likely until long after the elections this fall.
