The Supreme Court has declined to accept the case for the DACA children this term but they have agreed to decide a case on vulgarity. A clothing line is seeking a trademark "FUCT" allegedly standing for "Friends You Can't Trust." The Trademark Bureau declined and now it is a First Amendment issue. In 1964 Justice Potter Stewart was quoted "I know pornography when I see it" - after viewing several reels! Too bad Antonin Scalia isn't around for this dissertation. Some are calling this vulgar term the "phonetic twin." Stay tuned all you SCOTUS followers.
