SCOTUS takes a pass on Redskins challenge

Interesting read on the Native American challenge to the trademarked nickname of Washington D.C.'s NFL franchise over at SCOTUSblog. You'll never guess which Justice, in their time on the Circuit Court bench, found that failure to timely challenge assert one's rights was not available as an affirmative defense in cases of offensive trademarks.

It's a highly offensive name, that the team is located in the nation's Capitol is all the worse.
