It is constitutional. The 1A’s free speech guarantee protects you from government retaliation. It does not protect you from lawsuits brought by private individuals.
As for the Alex Jones case, I’m neutral. He said some horrible things about private individuals. Do those things rise to the level of the judgment that was awarded? Eh, probably not. But I really don’t know. So I’m neutral.
I'm not neutral on Jones. He's a scumbag grifter who will say anything for money. No guest too extreme, no slander too far, no conspiracy too nutty. He stirs evil in those who are unable to discern his conspiracies from reality. Remember all the freepers who were swallowing his Sandy Hook garbage hook line and sinker? The world would be a better place without people like him.
It's obvious Jones doesn't have anywhere near $1.5B in assets. The families of the victims offered Jones a settlement of just $85M ($8.5M/year for 10 years). Jones declined. Alex Jones will start a new show, if he can find backers. I hear the FSB has some extra cash. There's also a chance the bankruptcy trustee will sell the show to someone like Tucker Carlson, who could turn around and hire Jones as a host.
