The justices, by a 6 -3 vote, reversed an appeals court ruling that had struck down as unconstitutional the Universal Service Fund .

The fund provides billions of dollars a year in subsidized phone and internet services in schools, libraries and rural areas.

The last time the Supreme Court invoked what is known as the nondelegation doctrine to strike down a federal law was in 1935 .
