It isn't likely that anything Congress or the FCC does to regulate cable programming will pass judicial muster if the precedent of the past is followed -- namely that you subscribe to cable as oppossed to free over the air Radio/TV, for which the FCC clearly has a mandate. Same for subscription satellite.
While I disagree with some (many) things the FCC decides (remember, I have worked under their shadow for over thirty years), you must understand that a huge portion (probably majority given the baby boomer generation) of the US population agrees that content pushes the envelope of decency. -- and will keep pushing until regulation pushes back.
Frankly, many programs have crossed the line from my point of view and can use some regulation.
