The 'amicus curiae brief' from lavabit was pretty unimpressive
but of course as self-parody it was great.
For instance, the legal geniuses who wrote the 'brief' argued
that forcing apple to work for their partners, the government,
would be 'involuntary servitude' (poor oppressed corporation).
At the same time the master doctors cheerfully 'acknowledged'
the supreme authority of the americunt konstitution and noted
that 'involutary servitude' was perfectly 'legal', 'just' and
'amazing' in quite a few cases, to wit :
"the conscription of americans into military service does not
violate the 13th ammendment
forced jury service is also not a violation
preventing sailors who contracted to work from desserting their
ship
AND
forced roadwork are not a violations of the 13th ammendment"

It seems clear that with this kind of 'freedom' 'fighters'
freedom needs no enemies.
