Funniest amicus brief Ive ever read: object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/sba-list-merits-filed-brief.pdf The question presented: Can a state government criminalize political statements that are less than 100% truthful? translated: Whether a state can criminalize (get this!) lying about candidates during political campaigns. Boys and girls, pay close attention to the footnotes. Why? Peruse the last sentence of footnote 1: 1Pursuant to this Court’s Rule 37.3(a), letters of consent from all parties to the filing of this brief have been submitted to the Clerk. Pursuant to this Court’s Rule 37.6, amici state that this brief was not authored in whole or in part by counsel for any party, and that no person or entity other than amici made a monetary contribution its preparation or submission. Also, amici and their counsel, family members, and pets have all won the Congressional Medal of Honor P.J. ORourke, at his finest!
