ACLU files an amicus brief in support of John Oliver in the lawsuit against him by Robert Murray, Coal Baron (tm).

The ACLU brief is hilarious. (They ask the judge to throw out the suit.) More at the link:

The brief also directly addresses Murray with section headings like “All of John Oliver’s Speech Was Protected by the First Amendment. You Can’t Sue People for Being Mean to You, Bob”; “Plaintiff’s Requested Injunction Is Clearly Unconstitutional. You Can’t Get a Court Order Telling the Press How to Cover Stories, Bob”; and “Anyone Can Legally Say ‘Eat Shit, Bob!’”
