Supreme Court’s Big 1st Amendment Case Fails To Address 1st Amendment
Supreme Court leaves the law more muddled than it was yesterday.
Chief Justice John Roberts ‘Comes Out’
Do you have something you'd like to share with us, Mr. Chief Justice?
Morning Docket: 12.03.14
* Everyone's "BFF" Anthony Elonis, of the Elonis v. U.S. case that's currently before the Supreme Court, is facing additional scrutiny over a snarky note he sent to an ADA last year about burning a cross on the prosecutor's lawn.

If you have a problem with this, someone from NYU might too. [National Law Journal] * Winter break is the perfect time for undergraduate students to start working on their law school applications, but we're more than willing to bet the future gunners out there have already sent all of theirs in.

We have covered them in these pages before, from the guy who left evidence of his violent plans open on his desktop, to the robber who reached out to his victim via Facebook. On Thursday in Pennsylvania, a federal jury convicted Anthony D. Elonis […]
