A Manhattan federal court judge will decide by the end of this month whether to dismiss a defamation lawsuit Sarah Palin filed against the New York Times for accusing the former Alaska governor of inciting gun violence.

Judge Jed Rakoff
It is quite common for a judge to delay discovery pending resolution of a motion to dismiss.

Odah in da court cause here come da judge!!!!
Rakoff is a Clinton-appointed, activist judge. I suspect that this will not proceed.
It seems as if the Left has their Leftist judges circling the wagons for them. No equal justice under the law here.
When are conservatives going to adopt the liberal method of judge shopping before they bring a lawsuit?
Of course!
Not to worry.
J McCain will get involved as ‘payback’ for the support that SP gave him when it was considered ‘dangerous’ to her political aspirations for even giving him the time of day.
This will prove JM is a ‘standup guy’ and remembers sacrifices others made in his behalf.
“DAMN!! I was dozing off and woke up and found this so I passed it along”
Seriously, I do not think an s/ is required but one never knows.

There is a queen if I ever saw one - whether he knows it or not.
A temporary stay. The Times has filed a motion to dismiss. Until the judge rules on that then discovery is suspended. Happens all the time. If the judge rules against the newspaper then it will start up again.
Rakoff powered by Clinton.
