CNN.com - Supreme Court allows Rosa Parks to sue OutKast - Dec. 8, 2003

This is a joke right? Right? Right? Our legal system continues to waste our good old tax payer dollars on these frivolous cases.

The 1998 song is about the entertainment industry and its lyrics do not refer to Parks by name. The chorus of the song goes, "Ah-ha, hush that fuss. Everybody move to the back of the bus."

Parks claimed that OutKast violated her publicity and trademark rights and defamed her. She lost her first round in federal court, but a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio, reinstated part of the lawsuit earlier this year.
