The fake brief was peak satire. I wish they filed it.

28:45 You know The Babylon Bee is being extra spicy when their headline gets Nick to go quiet for a few seconds.

The amount of trolling here is legendary. F*ing *GOLDEN* 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 "Fully semi automatic, 30 magazine clip assault pistol grip firearm"

If the Bee did file a satirical brief against The Onion, they would be the two most important works of satire to ever grace the U.S. - especially if they ended up supporting a victory for the original case.

What a fucking world we are in where it's not the prestigious news papers, not the prestigious news stations, not the prestigious legal assosciations, not the prestigious political parties, it is the parody websites who have the integrity to say "wait it would benefit me politically for them to suffer but that's not right". I only wish the connotation assosciated with those "prestigious" institutions would update with the average person as quickly.

The Bee movie 2. Supreme Court boogaloo

OMG that slow fade in on the emperor wears no clothes part is killing me. XD

You know Nick, as a cop, I am continually baffled how these departments have time/personnel/funds to pursue these cases. I'm in a department with less than 50% of the detectives we had 10 years ago (with no end in sight to the hollowing out), and I go home every week completely exhausted because I simply don't have the time/personnel/funds to help my actual victims of actual crimes (murder, robbery, elder abuse, etc). And places like this have the free time to make up new crap? WTF?

The Pope needs to have both parties argue before HIM. Imagine the grounz being shouted. Bee V. Onion, it would be glorious.

Oh my god. They Cited "Philip McCracken" as well. Such amazing trolls.

The onion will probably remove itself from the brief and join the other side since they don't want to be on the same side as the Bee.

Babylon bee be based

Parma Ohio......goes after one little satirist: The Babylon Bee: "AVENGERS....... ASSEMBLE"

As usual why the Onion had a pretty good piece(okay, so that part is outside the norm), the Bee is printing gold.

BBB - Based Babylon Bee. *THE TRIPLE B*

The Bee is so good. The Onion submitted a fantastic brief. The Bee did even better. Both are excellent supports for the plaintiff's case.

This is just another level of comedy 👌 *Chef's kiss* it's like when the first court jester ever made fun of any royalty in a serious tone in history, but in modern times

You do realize that I had to enter the Hitler quote into Google Translate. My PC threw up on my keyboard.

Your reaction to the Uvalde headline was epic, almost as epic as the headline itself. You can't beat the Babylon Bee

Notice nobody has ever been arrested for offending a christian mother with kids

Reminder that the onion has a repeated article titled : “there’s nothing we can do about it” in response to mass shootings. Gee I wonder what they’re trying to say with this 🤔

BTW...Cool anniversary livestream💯HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, NICK!! THE ONION-BEE BRIEF has a nice ring to it🤔

The first brief was a bit ham-fisted, but still very funny. The second was by far the better one to submit to the court, as they did a great job supporting The Onion's brief and adding their own takes.

A glorious age of high level shitposting is upon us.

"I'm rising Strüdel. Our baptism of repentance! Kollinflakedankebingel! Heiptessengrospeitelhüberzingel! NO NO NO NO! - Google Translate

phenomenal! the bee is awesome and A+ for the read through.

I've missed this so much! Thank you for reading legal briefs and explaining the law stuffs, Nick!

That was impressive.

I know Clarence Thomas would have got a good laugh at the first brief! 🤣 I'm sure he's going to laugh at the official one anyway! 😂

Widespread arson, vandalism and looting = peaceful protest Telling jokes = felony

I don't see why they don't submit both? They both make good and subtly different points. The "pro government" brief is comparing and contrasting the reasons why the worst dictators in history have done this type of thing, and the pro freedom brief explains why they can't get away with it.

Thank you for this, Nick💯

10/10 amicus brief.

Around the 20min mark, you talk about the 1st Amendment and The Chilling Effect, this is pretty much how "family" court/DCF/CPS is run. Its a violation at it's roots. Guilty until proven innocent, oh well, so sad they missed work and church and life, but nothing happened at the end, right? :/ This was a really well done brief, both the real one and the hammy one. Thanks for going over this.

The babs! Babylon bee kills it 🍻

Can we get Rekieta's Twitter back?

Did the people holding up cameras during the George Floyd incident “impair the functions of any police…operations?” Seems like that could have been really distracting. Does Minnesota have any law like this with which to charge them?

Well done.. good Sirs... well done..

This was great. Babylon Bee is hilarious. XD

The Babylon Bee now is better than the Onion.

28:45 That was fucking gold

God DAMN the Bee has hands rated E for everybody >

You may want to recall that parody was a staple of one of our most famous Founding Fathers. Bejamin Franklyn used it in his role as publisher of the "Poor Richard's Almanack". Using the pseudonym "Richard Saunders" he routinely mocked the and criticized the policies of the British Parliament and the Crown with parody.

The answer is to parody them into the ice age.

Well I must have missed gut gate, but thanks for including those of us who missed it

The your mother joke almost made me shoot bourbon out my nose. Damn that burns

When the introductory credits to the brief has the great 4 of the 20th century in it, _you know it's going to be a shitpost of cataclysmic proportions._ *_EDIT:_** The link above Mao Zedong, "Liberals Are Angry America Still Exists, Dakota Times" is a search for "angry face" LMFAO:* 2:15

If this brief was submitted in the Count Dankula case it would have been accepted by the courts.

DA BEE! She stings. 🎩 🐍 no step on Snek! 🇭🇰🇺🇸

Rekieta at 0:55: The plaintiff's side is the correct decision. Rekieta at 12:30: Hol' up now...

i really hate how the Bill of Rights have been used against the people just as the framers said they would. They believed our rights were immeasurable and innumerable. since they were flipping the power structure on its head, the constitution was intended as a Bill of rights to the government. Hamilton argues this point in the federalist papers. The first amendment is not limited. The intention was NEVER do question “do the people have the right” and to measure it against an amendment. the question they wanted us to ask is “does the government, given its limited scope of power expressed in the constitution have the power to act.” it’s why the Bill of rights weren’t in thr Constitution originally and were only added to kill the anti-federalist platform. what the framers worried would happen has happened.

I hope to see the pope on Babylon bee

You get better news from Babylon Bee than the main stream.

Also a fun fact, when the first amendment was written lies weren't discovered and people only had happy feelings about others speech.

Philip McCraken. LOL

Who are these people. I love their writing.

sometimes the internet does great things like this

I'm glad I found this video. I wanted to know what the Babylon Bee amicus brief was.

Oh noes! people are mean to you! Let's cancel free speech because of it..Free speech is the absolute pillar that your other rights stand on imo.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge

She said "We can't you'll get an infection".

"But I luv yu an respec yu" lol

This entire ordeal is both outlandishly hilarious, and deeply troubling. Because on the one side, all of this is presented in a satirical, highly entertaining fashion. But on the other, we have the potential of a governing body controlling the very voice of the people it was created to protect. _"The future is only ever as bright or dim as those who traversed the past would paint it."_ We are responsible for the future. You are a part of that. If we, me, you, and everyone else who's seen this video so far, don't take responsibility for the actions of the governing body we have given life, nobody might. Because you don't have the guarantee that anyone other than you will stand up to fight for the freedoms you enjoy. You are not part of the collective, the collective is part of you, and if you don't stand up and try to control it, it WILL control you. If you do not care about the state of the collective, you do not care about yourself. If that is the case, then that is a choice you have been granted the freedom to make yourself. Just be aware that you don't have any guarantee as to how long you will maintain the freedom to choose to forsake the collective. After all, you're living on it's dime. One day, the head of the collective snake might come to collect on the debt it deems you to hold... _"Thank the hand that feeds, and be wary of the hand that feeds on condition."_

Awesome. Just simply awesome.

thats one big gut

In England I can criminally prosecute the cops, personally in my private capacity. The cops are required to apply the laws that the public think they should know. S26 Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015. and can get £500k/14 years if they don't. I may only have speech at the whim of Parliament, but I can hold the cops accountable. It is a simple law and worth a read. I feel it should be enacted at a state level as a counter to qualified immunity.

Those mad lads did it! Fucking YES.

23:10 (canadian) when I found out that that's the opposite of our law a few years ago it really started to hit me (a particular group of bomb makers decided someone's shirt offended them, crowd vs 1 - cops get called by onlookers, the 1 gets arrested for 'causing a disturbance with his presence').

12:18 the GUT has become canon!

20:05 Whoever was falsely accused or harrassed through the legal system by a malicious actor, knows that the process alone is already the punishment. The malicious party may of course want the win, but the process alone does the intended damage. A benign example: Just think of a scummy landlord who wants to get rid of you for questionable, malicious or even delusional reasons. That can take years, and you just giving in to just not have to deal with that anymore, is how s/he gets his way. Sometimes you can't let that happen.

2 Nick videos and 2 big names Babylon Bee and Trump back on Twitter. Good week!

Respek! 😎👍🏼

The Babylon Bee is hilarious. Haha.

The -emperor- BEE protects

🥇

Nick missed Phil McKraken 😂

The Babylon Bee is so damned clever. I go there and seeing how smart its humor is tells me there are people out there who are brilliant. That's encouraging.

i couldn’t find this video on rumble for some reason

The Bee hits hard like Condor 4590

I'm glad they didn't file the counter argument one. I can't say for sure if this court would get the joke. Then again that would also be the same foe the other arguments too. I would like to think that SCOTUS would continue siding with 1st ammendment absolutism but you just don't know.

Welcome back to Twitter, Nick!

Hey Nick. What's up

You could write and submit a brief representing Idi Amin. "There is freedom of speech but, I cannot guarantee freedom after speech." - Uganda’s fallen dictator, Idi Amin Dada

Very Based and UnBreaded

Soooo.. I'm a felon if I hit the speed trap button on Google maps?

Someone needs to make 28:57-29:00 into a gif with the caption "Hory Fuck" popping up when he leans into the microphone

Companies having the power to silence isn't much better than the government. How do we get to matter more than advertisers when it comes to speech? Other than being rich AF, since statistically most of us never will be.

You could also write the brief yourself and submit it as a friend of the court.

I live in Ohio and that is my home town (grew up in that city) been trying to get out for years. The only thing in Parma is Meth and well Satire...

Nick, what is that white ...''machine"' in the background?

Nice touch that the Bee is Edgeworth in the thumbnail, because he is a prosecutor

I never expected Nick to slowly turn into Jack Murphy lmfao

We need to end qualified immunity it is getting abused to hell by the authorities.

Rekieta, you are a commercial operation, so if youtube disrupts your operation knowingly and using a computer, it violates this statue, correct?

The Supreme Court granted the petition for a writ of certiorari in Jack Daniel's Properties Inc. v. VIP Products LLC, 22-148. [Jack Daniel’s v. Bad Spaniels] this a case Probably VS Trademark

What if they filed both?

Babylon Bee missed an opportunity to use Matthew Harris as a source. Damn shame…

I'm not a lawyer, is there any good reason to have "qualified immunity" for police and public officials? It seems to only exist to be abused, and allow police and public officials to knowingly and intentionally commit crimes and never be charged (which we have seen used across America for that purpose for years now).

You're right, Rackets. They should have filed the other one.

Hey Nick. You should do a stream about the longest prison sentences in US history and dive into some of the cases. I think I'd be horrifying but interesting.
