The court said the government could not reject a trademark claim because it viewed the words or messages as “scandalous.”

Los Angeles artist Erik Brunetti, the founder of the streetwear clothing company FUCT, in Los Angeles on April 11.

The court by 6-3 vote struck down part of the 1946 trademark act and said the government could not reject a brand name because it viewed the words or messages as “scandalous” or “immoral.” The ruling is a victory for Erik Brunetti, who has been selling his hats and T-shirts since 1991. And it continues a trend in which the high court looks skeptically at laws that act to regulate the freedom of expression.and struck down the part of the trademark law that prohibited the use of “disparaging” words.

Supreme Court rules for black death row inmate over prosecutor's racial biasUS Supreme Court has reversed the conviction of a Mississippi death row inmate who said the state prosecutor repeatedly kicked black people off the jury each time he was tried for the same murders. Justice was not blind and blatantly bigoted for years with this case. The White prosecutor should be jailed for incompetency, racism & he should be disbarred! Bravo to the SCOTUS for righting a horrible injustice! DISGUSTING!!! Back to The Jim Crow South. This is a dilemma. It's not justice if not applied the same across the board, regardless of race. However, he could be guilty? I stick by the preceding statement. 10 guilty men should go free before 1 innocent man is convicted. True statement.
