Read the link I posted.

Again, last time, who do you want regulating what’s responsible reporting and what isn’t? One already said the courts. What’s your position? Don’t use the Good Book to protect Trump. I want to know who you feel is qualified to decide what’s responsible reporting

And, if the NYT’s libels Trump and he can prove it harmed him, he already has recourse

Justice Scalia, "It should have been debated in the New York Legislature and the New York Legislature could have said, 'Yes, we're going to change our libel law. 'But the living constitutionalists on the Supreme Court, the Warren Court, simply decided, 'Yes, it used to be that ... George Washington could sue somebody that libeled him, but we don’t think that's a good idea any more.'"

So you think the Constitutional confines of the 1st Amendment should NOT be restored ... how is that supporting the restoration of our Constitution? How is that stance a 'conservative' one that is supposed to be about restoring the 'first principles' of our nations founding fathers?
