The Supreme Court issued its opinion in the case of Montana v. Wyoming yesterday. Dealing with the Yellowstone River Compact, the Court decided by a vote of 7-1 (with Justice Kagan being recused) that Montana failed to state a claim for breach of the compact by Wyoming.
But some of the press surrounding the case is devoted to the dissent by Justice Scalia, particularly his new name for people from Wyoming. Declaring that they "deserve better" than the "dictionary-approved" name of Wyomingites, Justice Scalia calls them Wyomans.
