The SCOTUS, in the Sullivan case, basically rewrote what “libel” means. Trump wishes to change it back to the original meaning it had when the Constitution & the 1st Amendment were ratified.

Wrong!!

Read his own words. He’s threatening them. My God. Trumpers won’t even believe when you show them his own words.

He did not say that it should stay in the states. Don’t mold him into what you think he will do. I see nothing were he has said Libel laws should remain state issues.

You would be on my side had Hillary said the exact same thing. The difference is I’m consistent.
