The petition of the day is:

Scott v. Saint John’s Church in the Wilderness

12-1077

Issue: (1) Whether the government may restrict the display of “gruesome” material within political, moral, and religious advocacy in a traditional public forum, in order to protect the sensibilities of children; and (2) whether provisions of an injunction based expressly in part on the supposedly harmful content of defendants’ speech should be subjected to strict scrutiny.
