This is, of course, old news by now, but I’m posting this for one main reason:

None of the news stories I’ve seen, read or heard do the actual petition any justice in their excerpts and paraphrasing.

To really enjoy the brilliance or absurdity of this lawsuit - whichever side you happen to fall on - you need to read the actual filing.
