Lawyers defending the New York Times say Sarah Palin is overreaching in her defamation lawsuit against the paper, and argue the case should be thrown out.
Court papers filed by lawyers for the Times say Palin's legal team is attempting to subpeona "twenty-three non-party current and former Times reporters, editors and other employees — most of whom had nothing to do with the editorial at issue," according to a Wednesday report by the New York Post.

Payback is a Sarah
Hang ‘me high.
Id love for Sarah to get full ownership of the Slimes and turn it into a Conservative newspaper
Stipulate that malice is not a requirement, and the material won’t be needed. At a minimum, she’s entitled to in camera review by the judge. More fairly, her attorneys should be entitled to see it under a protective order, and then they can argue to the judge before trial if it is relevant or not.
Ah, discovery. Painful but NYT is not above the law.
How about all internal memo’s dealing with Russia/colussion?
Isn’t this considered pre-trail discovery?
Uh, it’s all about COLLUSION!
Possibly with the Rooskies since S! is known to spy on them from her back porch in Wasilla.
Go Sarah, use every legal tool don’t the bastards breath. If need be set up crowd funding, I’ll kick in. The MSM destroyed Sarah’s image with non stop attacks and ridicule.
Get ‘em Sarah! Drag those dirty drawers all out in the street and show the world how dirty the nyt really is.
Go Sarah.... make’m squirm.
Sarah wants to get that targeting map/Giffords fake news killed once and for all and what better way than the NYT having to print that front page above the fold!She will win.

Pertinent slime:
“Was this attack evidence of how vicious American politics has become? Probably. In 2011, Jared Lee Loughner opened fire in a supermarket parking lot, grievously wounding Representative Gabby Giffords and killing six people, including a 9-year-old girl. At the time, we and others were sharply critical of the heated political rhetoric on the right. Before the shooting, Sarah Palin’s political action committee circulated a map that showed the targeted electoral districts of Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs. But in that case no connection to the shooting was ever established.”
This is very typical pre-trial discovery demands and objections.
go cuda!
Gee, discovery can be a bitch...
I hope Palin makes it as painful as possible...
They could save themselves a lot of embarrassment as well as a ton of legal fees, if they would just stipulate to the fact that the editorial was false and that it was done with malice.
That would end all the depositions and subpoenas. At that point the burden would be on Sarah to establish damages.
If Clinton had just allowed the Paula Jones lawsuit to go into default, he could have saved himself a lot of grief and a ton of attorney fees. Instead, his stupid attorney decided to fight it and lose.
The NYT should take a lesson from Clinton. Don’t fight battles that will cost you your reputation and a ton of money when you are simply as guilty as hell.
Instead the NYT is going to spend millions of dollars and they are going to end up paying Sarah Palin’s attorney fees and a ton of money.
Even if the jury doesn’t find for Sarah, the discovery on this is going to be worth every penny. Let the depositions begin!
“...grievously wounding Representative Gabby Giffords and KILLING SIX PEOPLE, including a 9-year-old girl.”
Those lives lost sure have been NEGATED by Head-Wound Gabby and her gun-grabbing puppeteer husband!
Democrats are evil. EVIL. Nothing matters to them - certainly NOT the lives of the six lost that day!
Kick @ss, Sarah!
