A reference to Plessy v Ferguson that's completely wrong.

Some reactions from Twitter:

Oh fucking God.
One quick google is all it would take, guys...

That’s an odd way of saying separate but equal…

: In a world... where the Fuller court listened to Harlan...

Somebody skipped that day of Con Law

Wow did an actual lawyer write that?!

Oh my.
This is about as bad as an error can get in a pleading.
"Hey judge...I don't know shit. Sincerely- the attorney filing this."

That's from Flores's complaint, which has a lot of interesting stuff to go along with that mistake. The Coliseum did force the Rams to integrate, but it wasn't because of the Supreme Court and of course it wasn't because of Plessy.

etc etc etc
