FallonWASHINGTON - In the staid world of the U.S. Supreme Court, where decorum and etiquette are prized and silence is enforced by court police, the F-word could create quite a stir.

The provision at issue has been on the books for more than a century. The federal government, Francisco added, should not be forced through the trademark system to actively promote words and images the public would find shocking or profane.'FRIENDS U CAN'T TRUST'
The American Civil Liberties Union, backing Brunetti in the case, noted that the Supreme Court in 1971 upheld the free speech rights of a Vietnam War opponent convicted of"offensive conduct" for wearing a"Fuck the Draft" jacket.
