You mentioned "threshhold" not once but twice. What threshhod are you talking about? Show me a Supreme Court declared "threshhold" in defamation jurisprudence that you alone seem to know, and then show me a defamation case launched by an out of control radical offender that the president has a syphilis which you said does not cross that threshhold ... then I will thank you in advance for enriching my legal research and court files.

You really think a libel suit can be made against someone who claims the president has syphillis? You are confusing what is right with what is possible. And, once again, please show me, during your career as a laywer, where someone successfully torted a libel suit against any president.
