Are you obtuse. I am saying that changing the libel laws will hurt the little guy. The big media companies will have plenty of money to hire lawyers to defend themselves. The little guys, like that woman I cited in the article above who wrote a book about Saudis financing terrorism will be muzzled. Why do you support that? Are you a Saudi supporter?
Which all drives up the price of losing.
And you're calling someone ELSE obtuse?
First of all, someone cannot just file a suit without showing just cause, i.e. evidence to the contrary.
Second, this is a state by state case as A1 of the Constitution does not give Congress authority over the press, that authority to this day remains with the states & thus what the SCOTUS did was change “state” law, a HUGE NO NO, they legislated for the state from the bench of a federal court.
Therefore, if someone is going t write a book and publish here in America, they and better have all their “i’s” dotted and their “t’s” crossed, because first and foremost, as long as the other cannot show just cause why the court should take the case, then there should be no worry.
