1. Yale Law, former Ron Paul staffer, something went wrong here...oh the the Lord of the Rings lawsuit

J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy tale about hobbits and elves and hobbits in the magical land of Middle-earth was cited as precedent.

The Beast reported the effort "somehow got weirder. In its most absurd iteration—with Davis, not SoRelle, at the helm—the lawsuit asked a federal judge to put the government into a receivership styled after the mythical kingdom of Gondor from The Lord of The Rings. 'During the course of the epic trilogy, the rightful King of Gondor had abandoned the throne,' the lawsuit explained. 'Since only the rightful king could sit on the throne of Gondor, a steward was appointed to manage Gondor until the return of the King, known as ‘Aragorn,’ occurred at the end of the story.'"
