In episode 74 of Supreme Court Briefs, two teenage boys get arrested for being obscene to a woman in an apparent prank telephone call.

It ended up being the prank call that led to kids having constitutional rights, so I'd say it was the most important prank call of all time. :)

Thank you for your continued support!

Kids must get the same rights as adults! It dramatically changed the entire juvenile system across the country. After this case, judges could no longer randomly and unfairly give out punishments at juvenile delinquency proceedings. For the first time in American history, the Court clearly said kids deserve constitutional protections, too.

Dang it! After reading the description I was totally gonna mention Bart and Moe, then I scrolled up and saw you already did it. "D'oh!"

Wait, how come I wasn't on Calvin Coolidge's level patreon supporter on screen at the end?

I finished this video a couple weeks ago, but I can make sure you're in the credits for future videos.

Matt Beat

Oh no! Yeah sometimes stuff gets accidentally deleted and I have to go back and fix it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

To quote Bart Simpson, “Don’t have a cow, man!” This case seems like a joke. Just as a big of a joke is how Judge McGhee ruled over the case and that laughable sentencing for making a prank call. In

Naterade

my opinion, this seems like as a slam dunk of a case as possible. The Supreme Court made the right call, but it’s a sad state of affairs that this was even a case to begin with. I guess one good thing that came out of it was a legal precedent.

Matt Beat

Yeah we don't know the details of the call, but it couldn't have been that bad. It's sad the kid had to go through all that.

Devin Canada

im thankful for this court case.
