Courts shouldn't be wasting their time on this. If courts spent time on every single thing people complained about, nothing important would get done.

That's why we have levels of courts and people whose job it is to decide whether or not a case has merit based on arguments brought by interested parties. We can't say something is a waste of time just by looking at it. We can't see the nuance at the heart of every matter.

Again, it's not for you or me to dictate what is actually important. Not important to you is not the same as being objectively unimportant.

Courts shouldn't have so many resources that they should be looking at things like that

for one thing, a use of a meme doesn't infringe on anyone's rights

We sure can.
