I would love for this one to make its way up to a higher court. It seems like such an open-and-shut case of free speech.

i think the violation was that technicality that he could not present him self as an engeneer. (no cert)

But he won his case and the court declared that he could say he's an engineer, even though he was not a "licensed professional engineer" according to the Oregon state licensing board.
