The dissenting voice of the court belonged to Judge Scirica. While he concurred with many of majority's rulings, he dissented with the decision to order a stay, vacate the regulations, and remand certain rules to the FCC. It was Scirica's opinion that the court upended the way that judiciary reviews agency rule making, as it was his belief that principles of deference be accorded to agency decision-making. He preferred to allow the FCC's media ownership rules to go into effect, as it is not the Court's role to second guess an agency acting within its delegated authority, and substitute its own policy judgment. He preferred to allow the commission the opportunity to monitor and evaluate its policies so that they can adjust them, and assign accountability to rest with the FCC.
