Spammer Jeremy Jaynes finally escaped his well-deserved punishment today, as the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the decision of the Virginia Supreme Court striking down that state's anti-spam law. The state court decision was based on the premise that the statute effectively prevented anonymous noncommercial speech. The premise was false, and it was obviously so to anyone who knows how email works. CJLF's brief is here.

The Court took no new cases today. Decision announcements are likely tomorrow and Wednesday, and both decisions and a new orders list Monday.
