Guilfoyle receives Frosty reception in court

Amplitude matters.

Maxwell Frost, Democratic representative from the great state of Disney, delivered an energetically impassioned speech on the closing night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention. The following day, Kimberly Guilfoyle, on-and-off romantic interest of Donald Trump, Jr., and former prosecutor in liberal San Francisco, filed a lawsuit with the eleventeenth District Court of La-La-Land, accusing Frost of plagiarizing the speech she delivered at the Republican National Convention in 2020.

In a closed hearing, Judge Ian Chambers asked Guilfoyle to explain the legal basis for her suit. “Judge, I submit to you two comparative videos of each of our speeches from which you can easily discern the legal basis for my suit claiming plagiarism”, intoned Guilfoyle. After the judge patiently watched both videos, he turned to Ms. Guilfoyle with a quizzical expression. Then the judge had an epiphany after quickly teasing out the subtle details of her legal claim.

“Ms. Guilfoyle, please approach the bench”, Judge Chambers requested. Using his best effort to suppress laughter, the judge told her, in a measured voice, “First, there are orders of magnitude of difference between the vocalization level in which you and Mr. Frost delivered your respective speeches. Second, shouting is not protected under copyright law.”

Guilfoyle’s countenance fell as she consoled herself with, “Well, at least I had a larger crowd at my speech than Frost.”
