The AP reported:
Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News on Friday, arguing the cable news giant falsely claimed in an effort to boost faltering ratings that the voting company had rigged the 2020 election.
The lawsuit is part of a growing body of legal action filed by the voting company and other targets of misleading, false and bizarre claims spread by President Donald Trump and his allies in the aftermath of Trump’s election loss to Joe Biden. Those claims helped spur on rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a violent siege that left five people dead, including a police officer. The siege led to Trump’s historic second impeachment.
Dominion argues that Fox News, which amplified inaccurate assertions that Dominion altered votes, “sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process,” according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by The Associated Press.

It should be the other way around. The Republican Party should sue Dominion for $1.9 Trillion for invalidating the “election”. The vote is dead. Dominion killed it along with Communistdemocratmediaextremists and MarxistBLMAnfifa. The constitutional republic form of government is no more.
These companies claim that the mere suggestion their machines are faulty and/or can be misused is absurd.
Sydney Powell then filed a motion to dismiss the case against her, saying basically that if “the suggestion is absurd” then no reasonable person would believe it.
The onus is on them, at that point, to prove that the claims are not absurd. Which means they may have merit. Which means the claims are no absurd and therefor not defamation.
So yeah, these cases will get dropped.
They must have finished wiping and/or altering the logs on every machine in the usa by now
Dana's a Bushie, joined at the hip with her buddies Chris Wallace, Bret Bair, Brian Kilmeade and sometimes Chris Wallace.
All peas in the same Bushie pod.
She wanted Trump to lose and she also wanted Joe to win.
More likely Fox will settle. Cheaper than defense and the bottom line overrides principles. Or should we still be waiting for the Kracken to be released?

Wow, did not know that!! what a scummy thing for her to do! I knew she was a rino, but holy money, what a disappointment she has become!
These suits by Dominion will get nowhere due to First Amendment protection. And they are in fact guilty.
I see the courts doing just what they did in the scopes trial, not allow the defense to give evidence, and allow the offense to do practically anything they want, then the judge will issue a pre-written plagiarized opinion condemning fox News peeps I. A totally agenda driven biased manner.
Um, “protections”?
Who the hell is funding Dominion’s legal department? They apparently believe they can sue everyone into silence.
I HAVEN’T WATched them since the election. Get a glimpse now and then of Tucker and saw a little of Laura Ingraham last night.
These people did nothing to investigate the possible election fraud that took place before our eyes the night of November 6th.
Well, I have always been told that the First Amendment protects free speech. Do you have another take?
You think a DC judge is going to allow any type of meaningful discovery? Even if Sydney’s lawyers manage to get the source code (they won’t) someone would need to prove that any weird code (fractional votes, for instance) was used in the election. All the recounts came back clean. So Sydney’s claim of flipping votes is absolute garbage. She now claims that no reasonable person would conclude that she should have been taken seriously when she slandered the company. She isn’t even attempting to suggest the machines can’t count.
The Kraken is gonna be released any day now! Just you watch! How DARE you not ‘trust the plan’

In a just world the Dominion people would be using lawyers to try to get their death penalties commuted.
Yes. The SC no longer upholds the constitution, or is very very close to no longer doing so.
The sc was our last line of legal defense in the whole stolen election fiasco, they failed to act because they were afraid of riots Breaking out. They failed to do their duty to even hear the cases.
The whole world knows the election was stolen, yet we apparently haven’t even got a court now to protect we the people from a rogue government legally in matters as serious as election integrity.
I beleive her argument is that IF do inion says the charges of fraud are “absurd”, then “no reasonable person would beleive those charges, therefore the suit should be dropped.

Nope, they got word fro soros and ilk that discussions about fraud were not allowed, and fox dutifully obeyed
