WASHINGTON, D.C.—Offensive terms can receive trademark protection, and Congress’s 70-year-old statute to the contrary violates the First Amendment, a federal appeals court held in a case that is likely to now go before the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON D.C.—The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to review a city ordinance in Illinois restricting so-called “assault weapons.” Two justices dissented from the Court’s denying review and noted a disturbing trend against the Second Amendment.

Ahmed Mohamed’s lawyers are demanding $15 million, according to letters to the city of Irving, Texas, and Irving Independent School District (ISD) that list their grievances. While it is possible that on one or more issues Mohamed might have a claim, most—if not all—of this lawsuit appears meritless.
