This would open a huge can of worms that would be used by leftists.

Nick apparently made out just fine in the settlements. Better his lawyers go after INDIVIDUALS.

I thought I read that he had gotten serious $$$ from at least one or two news outlets. Does this decision overturn that...or does it just mean that he can’t sue the ones that refused to settle?

"Sandmann asked the Supreme Court in January to hear his appeal of the 6th Circuit decision and answer the following questions: “Do statements conveying observed sensory impressions in factual, descriptive terms constitute protected ‘opinion’ under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States?” and “Did the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit effectively eliminate the distinction between fact and opinion articulated in Milkovich v. Lorain Journal Company, 497 U.S. 1 (1990)?”

Sounds like some lawyers looking for another payday to me.
The SC is supposed to be involved in deciding Constitutional issues.

MSM did the same thing to Richard Jewell as they’ve done to Nick. Take them to the cleaner, Nick!

I remember when people here celebrated Sandmann’s win against the networks in a lower court. Lots of high fives here. And then it was dismissed. We should be careful not to prematurely celebrate half-wins.
