CUPP: Let's talk about the Supreme Court. The justices on Monday are set to hear a trademark case by the maker of a fashion brand called Friends U Can't Trust. Do the math. We'll see where this is going. Erik Brunetti, whose clothing line goes by its off-color acronym sued the government after his trademark application ran afoul of the immoral and scandalous provision and was rejected. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the federal circuit ruled in his favor saying the first amendment protects private expression, even when that expression is offensive to lots of people, citing a previous Supreme Court decision, which struck down an adjacent part of the law against registering disparaging trademarks. So it seems the oversized, baggy, skate pant designer has a pretty good shot at victory with an appeals court, the ACLU and the precedent on his side. But not to worry, should he prevail, you can only buy his products online. I'll be back in two minutes.
