Trump’s threat to change libel laws and ramp up “law fare” (using aggressive litigation to silence dissent) further serves the interests of the tyrannical left. The inevitable result is that only the officially government approved spin will be allowed, regardless of the facts.

First, let me remark that your post dates back to before Trump won the nomination - and that I myself favored a different candidate myself back in Feb ’16.

But on the substance, "Trump’s threat to change libel laws and ramp up “law fare” (using aggressive litigation to silence dissent) further serves the interests of the tyrannical left” is imho incorrect. There was, and is, no real prospect of a legislative change in libel law. I agree with Scalia that the Warren Court was wrong in ’64, and that Sullivan should and must be overturned. But legislatively? Bupkis is coming that way.

And “law fare” is precisely what is called for IMHO. The journalism cartel is the Establishment, and it needs to be sued into oblivion.
