Sadly, it seems pretty unreasonable once you're made aware of some of the rulings that have come out of courts.
If you would rather be amused than angered, you could limit yourself to court cases involving tax and tariff law, e.g.,
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_v._Hedden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_v._Hedden, which rules Tomatoes are vegetables rather than fruit
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Biz,_Inc._v._United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Biz,_Inc._v._United_States, which ruled that the X-Men and Fantastic Four are nonhuman creatures so their action figures can be taxed as toys rather than dolls.
I particularly relish the irony of the second ruling, given a major theme behind the X-Men is a struggle to be treated like humans in a society determined to other them as mutants.
