But the problem there might be that misappropriation has generally been limited to commercial use. Probably because until recently, just doing it for the lulz would be parody and fall into Falwell v. Hustler territory. Genuinely deceptive misappropriation was hard. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustler...

Well, that's not true at all. Federal judges, chambers staff, and a number of clerk's office staff are essential employees who work through government shutdowns.

Isn't that guy also this guy, who sued the US government seeking a declaration (as I read his complaint) that white people, and only white people, have an inviolable right to bear arms? https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67164213/parties/blount-v-united-states/
