In 2023, The Onion filed it's first SCOTUS briefing: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/20221003125252896_35295545_1-22.10.03%20-%20Novak-Parma%20-%20Onion%20Amicus%20Brief.pdf

It was widely regarded as the 'greatest briefing of all time', for it's use of parody to defend parody (they called the judiciary "Latin dorks").

The case in question regarded a man who mocked his local PD through a satirical FB page. The PD looted his home. He sued. The 6th court ruled that the PD couldn't have known about his right to free speech.

SCOTUS said "Petition DENIED". The bad law stands.
