Trevor
Burrus, a research fellow with the Cato Institute, described The
Slants’ Supreme Court battle as a precedent-setting case, saying that
the fundamental doctrine of the First Amendment is “it’s today you,
tomorrow me,” noting that all Americans should fight for the free speech
of others because of the impact it may have on them one day.
In
June, Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the unanimous ruling: “Holding that
the registration of a trademark converts the mark into government
speech would constitute a huge and dangerous extension of the
government-speech doctrine, for other systems of government registration
(such as copyright) could easily be characterized in the same way.”
