“She co-founded the New York Statewide Coalition for Fair Access to Family Court, which successfully advocated for legislation granting access to civil orders of protection for unmarried victims of domestic violence, including LGBTQ victims and teens. Fluke was also a member of the Manhattan Borough President’s Taskforce on Domestic Violence and numerous other New York City and New York State coalitions that successfully advocated for policy improvements impacting victims of domestic violence.”
Leadership of such groups clearly makes her a public figure. And why are you so hot to carry the flag for her? You seem to believe that leaders in such advocacy groups, who testify in front of committees can walk around immune from response. Thats BS. And Rush was attacking her DIRECTLY on her testimany. Rush will be fine.
No, it does not. I do not think you understand what the term 'public figure' means in U.S. v. Sullivan. A person must 'pervasively' be in the press and public to be a public figure. The fact that you and I know who this Fluke lady is today is . . . a fluke. She wasn't a public figure. Please stop playing lawyer.
For purposes of Suillivan, there is a category called a 'limited public figure." Have you performed the "particularized determination" required by the U.S. Supreme Court to see if Fluke's a limited public figure?
And why are you so hot to carry the flag for her?
I'm not carrying the flag for her. I think conservatives should stand for what is right. When Rush Limbaugh makes up a bunch of stuff and claims somebody said it in front of congress, and then calls her a slut based on what he falsely claims she said, that's wrong. Even though Rush Limbaugh is conservative.
It's wrong even though Rush Limbaugh is conservative.
Even though Rush Limbaugh is conservative.
And it's wrong that people keep repeating lies on FR about what she 'said.'
When we reach the point that there is no right and wrong - and that if a conservative does it, it's right no matter what . . . count me out.
