"No chance of success": This is how the Federal Constitutional Court formulates the maximum penalty for someone who files a constitutional complaint.
It is not accepted and the facts or the judgments of the lower courts are not considered significant enough to require a constitutional review.
The ZDF entertainer Jan Böhmermann, who is now dealing with his complaint, should be hit particularly hard in view of the importance he attaches to his megalomaniac appearance.
There was the state affair into which the dispute over his "abusive criticism" poem about Turkish President Erdoğan, which he read on the show "Neo Magazin Royale" in March 2016, grew into, but probably the least.
And after all, the dispute over the question of whether the accumulated insults with which Böhmermann covered Erdoğan at the time should be understood as satire and art or at face value led to Paragraph 103 of the Criminal Code, which made insulting organs of foreign states a punishable offence , was canceled in 2018.
In terms of criminal law, things went well for the ZDF entertainer, namely without consequences.
He was less fortunate before the district court, the higher regional court in Hamburg and the federal court of justice.
There it was only about his text, of 24 lines of abusive poetry, a total of six lines remained as allowed.
Anyone familiar with German press law would not find this surprising.
Böhmermann's lawyer Christian Schertz, meanwhile, was convinced when he then announced his move to Karlsruhe that artistic freedom itself was at stake here and that the Böhmermann cause was a precedent.
If that had happened, it would certainly have suited the ZDF entertainer.
So he goes a little unnoticed with his poetic freedom.
That must be terrible.
