> Satire of government officials is a fundamental and inviolable right of American citizens.

This is factually incorrect. eg You cannot impersonate a government official, as a prank, then claim first amendment protections against damage caused.

What you mean by "Satire" is either moving the goalpost or misunderstanding the concepts relevant to the case. Good luck with whatever.
