Is no one really concerned about this?

Have we really come to the point that our property can be seized/devalued by the government without due process because, well, it's deemed politically incorrect?

Mark Levin, radio talk show host and President of Landmark Legal Foundation, explained on his show yesterday that all this will do is get a lot of people sued. Common Law still applies and anyone who tries to capitalize on this decision can be sued. He also had an audio recording of Harry Reid admitting that a sitting Senator was instrumental in the ruling. This, most likely, is illegal.

Pat- I am almost certain that this is illegal. It's the fact that the USPTO tried this knowing that it won't hold water is what is so concerning. We have an Executive Branch that has gone rogue IMO.

One of the places I deliver in the Navajo Nation is the school in Red Mesa.
The school mascot is "Redskins".
This must be especially disparaging to the 99% of the school children who are Native American.
Since this is within the Navajo Nation, maybe the BIA (Bureau of Indian affairs) should look into it.

He did.

They had to find a dept of government that was not already under investigation of wrong doing so their options were rather limitted.

On another note, perhaps we should sue to have the White House renamed. I find that name offensive. Of course they could call it Crazy-ass Cracker House since that seemed to be ok not too long ago.

I know this has been in other threads but, this is why we are where we are:

I am sure the ignorance crosses both sides. This is the electorate.
We're done for.

Of course WE are concerned but that does not make a whole lot of difference. It is one outrageous incident after another. The Redskins fiasco is nothing compared to the warehousing of all these illegal immigrant children tens of THOUSANDS and more predicted to come. I will do my speaking at the polls in November but for now all I can do is remain a bitter clinger.

This brings the patent office up to parity with the other executive branch agencies. Way out of their lane, over-stepping their authority, and no consequences. They might need their own cabinet-level seat at the table if they keep up this stellar performance.
(Maybe they'll get absorbed by DHS and get a bunch of free ammo & stuff.)

MSNBC declares "Redskins" a racial slur: "I am an idiot!".
