The American Civil Liberties Union of the Nation’s Capital, D.C. Councilmember Mary Cheh and several media outlets, including National Public Radio, Allbritton Communications and WUSA9, have filed an amicus brief calling for the dismissal of Redskins owner Dan Snyder’s lawsuit against Washington City Paper and writer Dave McKenna regarding claims made in McKenna’s “Cranky Redskins Fan’s Guide to Dan Snyder”. And it’s really good.

Yesterday, the Washington City Paper filed an affidavit requesting the dismissal of Dan Snyder’s lawsuit against the newspaper and reporter Dave McKenna under a new D.C. law which prohibits “strategic lawsuits against public participation,” or SLAPP.
