The SCOUS has already ruled the satire is protected speech.
They better lawyer up because the PD is going to have their head handed to them.

In a sane world, I would agree entirely.  In a world where Zero's AG and other Fed agencies essentially supply Mexican drug cartels with weapons, then turn around and attempt to use the 'proliferation of gun sales to criminals' as rationale for a Federal encroachment on gun ownership rights for law-abiding citizens, I'm not so sure.  Law and Justice are no longer what I've become accustomed to in the United States Of America, and I find it all absolutely chilling.

This is a twofold attack.

The prosecutor knows this will probably get tossed sooner or later but just maybe he will win.

The most important thing is to ensure the judge at the first level does not throw it out with prejudice. This case will then cost tens of thousands of dollars to the defendant and that is what the Prosecutor wants.

Doing this will send the message that the Government will bankrupt anybody who dissents, whether or not the defendant is in the right and thus stifle every body's speech.
