The Founders were brilliand and succinct writers. The entire original US Consitution was written on 4 pages of parchment. Witness Obamacare’s 10,000 pages of text.

Only modern lawyers hate plain text because it requires us to use them as interpreters.

I see, in this decision, a potential to apply its analysis of history and the plain language of the first amendment to the Sullivan v NYT precedent. No one whom believes that a media entity has defamed/libeled him should be required to prove a higher standard than the everyday citizen.

Analogizing this, it makes zero sense that just because a person is “famous” that he should have to prove, to higher standard, that the media entity defamed/libeled him. If a higher standard is not allowed to exercise the right to carry a firearm than a higher standard can not be justified to prove that the media entity defamed or libeled him.
