Voices from the Abyss: The Lone Dissents of Ginsburg, Scalia, and Murphy

Another Anonymous US Supreme Court Case
Ohio vs. Bradenbury: yet another Supreme Court free speech case so toxic, even the Justices wouldn’t touch it with their names. Can you blame them? It’s not every day you want the KKK’s RSVP to your next barbecue. And when it came to assigning liability, the Court basically said, “Nah, we’re good.”

Enter stage left: the government, clipboard in hand, announcing, “Congratulations! You’ve just been awarded the privilege of sharing your property with whoever we say, whenever we say.
