The following excerpt is from Association of Nat. Advertisers, Inc. v. F. T. C., 565 F.2d 237 (2nd Cir. 1977):
Citing Fay v. Douds, appellant asserts a violation of its constitutional right of free speech, because, it says, "the rulemaking proceeding underlying this action" involves commercial advertising, a protected form of speech. It also contends that it was deprived of its constitutional right to adequate cross-examination, which it characterizes as an "inseparable component of a plenary judicial process." These alleged violations are much too tenuous to justify interlocutory review.
