Matal v. Tam
59 minutesThe Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the government's refusal to register trademarks that can be seen as disparaging violates First Amendment free speech. This is a win for the Asian American rock band the Slants who challenged the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's refusal to trademark the name of their band because the name can be seen as a racial slur disparaging to people of Asian descent. The Court found the disparagement clause of the Lanham Act, a 1946 trademark law that bars the federal registration of trademarks that "disparage" groups and individuals, an unconstitutional violation of First Amendment free speech protections. Justice Alito in his opinion for the Court wrote, "The disparagement clause is not 'narrowly drawn' to drive out trademarks that support invidious discrimination.

Campaign 2018: Maslenjak v. United States
1 hour, 3 minutesThe Supreme Court unanimously decided that a naturalized American citizen cannot be stripped of citizenship if a lie or omission made during the naturalization process was irrelevant to the government's original decision to grant citizenship. This is a rejection of the government's argument that even minor lies can lead to a loss of citizenship. This case involves Divna Maslenjak, an ethnic Serbian woman who said she faced persecution in Bosnia because of her ethnicity and that her family faced retribution because her husband avoided serving in the Bosnian Serb military. Divna Maslenjak was granted refugee status in 1999 and became a U.S. citizen in 2007. It was later discovered that she lied during the naturalization process. Her husband did serve in the Bosnian Serb military, a unit implicated in war crimes. Divna Maslenjak was charged with obtaining her citizenship illegally. She was convicted, her citizenship revoked, and she and her husband were deported to Serbia. Justice
