Brief of the day.
"Eat S^#t Bob!"
The following is West Virginia ACLU's field amicus brief on behalf of defendant John Oliver. Bob Murray, CEO of Murray Energy, filed a defamation suit against Oliver. In June 2017, Oliver ran a segment on the coal industry and singled out Bob Murray, who Oliver said, looked like Dr. Evil.
The ACLU's position is summed up simply: "You can't sue people for being mean to you Bob."
While the brief is entertaining to read, it remains to be seen if the judge is going to think so as well.
