Hmmmm. Sounds like there's a need for some good creative conservative lawyering here. Maybe the new line-up in the SCOTUS will create some leeway.

re: some good Conservative lawyering.

I'm looking for a way to bring a civil action. NYT encouraged and emboldened terrorists and made their jobs easier, etc. Sounds like a bit of a stretch, but remember:

1. There is NO First Amendment shield against civil actions.
2. Could be brought by wounded veterans, families of deceased veterans, etc.
3. Requires only "preponderance of evidence"
4. Could be brought in wounded soldier's home state
...and here is the clincher. Some jurisdictions allow injured party to recover from any defendant found responsible, regardless of their degree of responsibility (guilt) if other responsible parties do not pay.
