Any info on the judge?

[sheehan]

too bad... the corrupt liberal MSM is sovereign.

[NohSpinZone]

William O. Bertelsman. Appointed by Jimmy Carter.

[eyeamok]

The lawyer on this case is no dummy, it will be reinstated pretty quickly by the appeals court.

What we need is a 3 Strikes Law for Judicial Decisions that are overturned.

[lee martell]

This should not be over! The Lib-Hysterics have not yet learned their lesson. I hope this family appeals that Kangaroo Court decision.

The former Marine that went AWOL what, 2 times?

This will be overturned. The kid will be rolling in it. The issue here is AGE.

NICE TRY, JUDGE.

[Bratch]

The judge concluded the newspaper’s characterizations were protected by the First Amendment.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Commie lib “judges” appointed by ‘RATS. Who didn’t see this coming? The commie fascists have to defend one another and their money.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

This judge is an 83 year old coot. What the hell is he still doing on the bench? Is the SOB trying to pull a Ginsberg?

Some might be interested in the name of the judge - but you won’t find it in this piece of journalistic shite.

Just another communist traitor bastard fulfilling his role in a black robe.

The judge ruled that in the initial news coverage of the incident, The Post never mentioned Sandmann by name and instead only referred to groups of "hat wearing teens" and other classifications that did not point to Sandmann's involvement specifically, saying "the words used contain no reflection upon any particular individual" and thus could not constitute as defamation. In addition, the court ruled that the newspaper used language that was "loose, figurative," and "rhetorical hyperbole" which the judge determined is protected by the First Amendment.

See, that is the system we have to delegitimate. The system is that individual members of the journalism cartel diffuse the responsibility - but the reality of the cartel is that overall, clear libel has occurred. My position is that it is futile to go after one newspaper here or another newspaper there. You have to sue the whole lot of them. Your defendant must be “the Associated Press and it membership, joint and several liability.” And, if that bothers you, throw in all the other wire services as well - same difference, they all have the effect of homogenizing journalism into a leftist cartel.

BS

Actual malice if there ever was

It’s SOP for the Compost and Slimes

[pepsi_junkie]

Oh wow, the Post defense was terrible, basically just said “we don’t think a jury would consider what we did bad”, didn’t actually offer legal reasoning why the case shouldn’t be brought to trial, just Post doesn’t want it to. And they got a judge who figured sure, why not. Bad day for the rule of law.

Once again, the press gets a free pass on criminal behavior.

There is certainly a good argument that if the article didn’t mention the plaintiff’s name there is no defamation. I wonder if they published his picture, though. That would make a big difference. Unless they published his picture this does not get overturned on appeal even in Kentucky.
