Chief Justice John Roberts was the lone dissent in a Supreme Court campus free speech case, arguing that a former college student had no standing to protest the school restricting his religious freedoms.

The case, in which a majority led by Justice Clarence Thomas, decided in favor of the student, concerned whether Chike Uzuegbunam, a former student at Georgia Gwinnett College, could seek nominal damages for an incident when the school prevented him from preaching in public. Thomas wrote that Uzuegbunam could because an “award of nominal damages by itself can redress a past injury.”
