The 83-Year-Old Dead File Swapper

They claimed Walton made more than 700 pop, rock and rap songs available for free on the Internet under the screen name 'smittenedkitten.' Needless to say, the suit has since been dropped."

They were interfering with the business of the court. If you go into Congress and start making political jokes out loud, or into the Supreme Court and start yelling out "O'Connor's a homophobe!" at the top of your lungs, you're going to get in trouble.
