I've pondered this, and i'm pretty sure the Washington Post's defense is going to be that they just "report" the news, they didn't accuse him of anything. Therefore he has no legal cause of action against them.

WP will never need to mount a defense because Moore will never file suit against them or any of his accusers.

And for good reason.

Yes, and one which you obviously missed by not reading the message to which you replied. He won't file suit against WaPo cause they will argue freedom of the press to report what others say, and he won't file suit against Corfman of Nelson because neither woman has a d@mn thing that can be taken away from them to punish them.

They are lawsuit proof because they are poor. Suing poor people is a stupid gambit. You won't get anything. Now if he could put them in jail if they lose, that might make it worthwhile, but we don't have debtor's prison since 1776.
