SCOTUS says the F**k word is okay for a trademark.

[longknife]

A 6-3 decision in opposition to Ginsberg’s claim all would be 5-4.

For anyone with a dream to shock people with a vulgar trademark featuring or referencing a dirty four-letter word, the United States Supreme Court has given you your ruling. In a 6-3 decision on Monday, the high court overturned the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's near century-long ban on registering immoral or vulgar trademarks.

Justice Elena Kagan wrote the majority opinion and was joined by Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh.

"We hold that this provision infringes the First Amendment for the same reason: It too disfavors certain ideas," wrote Kagan.


And this:

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.

Can anyone guess where Roberts stands on anything?

Why does government have to set the standards?

If an owner wants to label his business with trash, he will either get trashy customers - or none at all.
