Many of the jokes, Ms Cooper said, were obviously statements of perspective and not actuality and thus stable by the First Amendment.
The cat-in-heat joke, the decider said, quoting from a prior justice decision, was colourful, incongruous tongue that in accord with minds would not take to be factual.
