[U -- Complete] Another Supremes' Decision Day... Starting NOW.


There are (theoretically) still 11 opinions yet to go, this term. . . .

[So far, only a trademark case saying essentially that adding ".com" to a generic phrase likely makes the whole mark enforceable, as a registered trademark. But multiple more opinions coming soon.]

And now -- only two today -- we have the Espinosa v. Montana ruling. Religious schools may qualify for state government aid, in certain circumstances: per SCOTUSblog.com -- Roberts writes that the court's recent decision in Trinity Lutheran v. Comer "distilled" the Court's precedents into the "unremarkable" conclusion "that disqualifying otherwise eligible recipients from a public benefit solely because of their religious character imposes 'a penalty on the free exercise of religion that triggers the most exacting scrutiny....'"

No other opinions today. Perhaps Thursday -- or next Tuesday. Onward.
