SCOTUS hands Redskins a big win today

Although the case didn't directly involved the Washington Redskins the ruling will apply.
quote:
The justices struck down federal prohibitions against granting trademark protection for "immoral" or "scandalous" material as unconstitutional. The vote was 6-3 in an opinion written by Associate Justice Elena Kagan. Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
"The First Amendment does not allow the government to penalize views just because many people, whether rightly or wrongly, see them as offensive," Kagan said from the bench in announcing the decision.
And Sotomayor said that under the court's ruling, "the government will have no statutory basis to refuse (and thus no choice but to begin) registering marks containing the most vulgar, profane or obscene words and images imaginable.

Thank you miss "wise latina".
We dont ban words in America. Go be a judge in Europe, Russia, or China for that fascist shite.

Is that a challenge?

Not to get overly political, but Soto is considered one of the least qualified and least...ummm...academic SJ's of all time. She is a horrendous Justice.
I don't agree with Kagan a lot but I respect the hell out of her (I didn't when she was being appointed).
Anyway, back to the topic...

Now can the Cleveland Indians get Chief Wahoo back?

Don't agree with most of her positions, but this is an awful take

Roberts wrote the dissent

Why? I thought that was the conventional wisdom on her.

That has long been the perception I've gotten in legal circles. I've been reading a lot of code words in treatises and commentaries among con law guys for a few years now that read between the lines of "Not a smart person".

I've been a Redskin fan pretty much most of my life (huge Riggins fan and climbed on the bandwagon around 82) and I'm kind of over this whole thing. I just don't care what the team is called anymore. It's not going to change any of the history and the team has pretty much sucked for the last 25+ years anyway. Maybe a name change will spark something to get the franchise going again..

At least they can win at something. They aren't doing it in football.

Sotomayor was a Fed court judge for nearly 20 years before taking the USSC bench. That's longer than RBG. Kagan had never been a judge of any kind prior to her appointment. She had largely just been in academia.
I think you are confusing Sotomyor with Kagan, at least from a "qualification" perspective

I know what their qualifications were. Kagan was an academic, which is why I thought she was completely unqualified and Soto would be fine.
They have both been opposites. Kagan has been thoughtful and relatively reasonable, even if her and Soto agree most of the time.
Soto has been horrendous. The dissents she has written have been almost chilling in how terribly reasoned they are.

I'm not saying you're wrong. But from a qualification standpoint you could say Sotomayor was more "qualified", as in prior experience, than some of the others.
However, she is very much a judical activist

People loved or hated Sotomayor based on her ruling back in '95 when she said MLB owners were in violation of labor laws, ending baseball's strike.
