They tried to ruin his life with their lies. The Post needs to come clean and make amends.

The judge also ruled that the newspaper used language that was "loose, figurative," and "rhetorical hyperbole" which is protected by the First Amendment.

Translation:

We can tell all kinds of LIES about you and you have ZERO recourse now; Buster!!

"83 year old Carter appointed judge."

83 year old judge... What a shame... I'm only 75 and I have trouble keeping track of my hearing aids, glasses, teeth and remembering to zip my pants, or even if I have any on before I leave the house... I can't even begin to imagine what I'll be like at 83...
I sure as heck wouldn't want to be responsible for making decisions about other people's future...

When the Deep State and Dems slander decent people like the Covington ones, silences conservatives on Facebook and Twitter accounts,demonetizes them,sends Antifa to make sure no one dares come out for a public rally or to show support for President Trump, allows tens of thousands of gang members and unassimilating illegals to vote and to go on welfare,and threatens their gun rights and freedom of speech-——then the normal outlets for expression have been closed.

This leaves the alternative.

Progression of similar trend:

In the 1950s folk singing young people tried to sing and play acoustical instruments in Washington Square Park in New York. They were billy clubbed and arrested (no permit, etc).

In 1965 young people tried to get into overcrowded music clubs and crowded the sidewalk and the street outside and it resulted in billy clubs and mass arrests chronicled in the song by Stephen Stills For What Its Worth and a book Riot On Sunset Strip by Domenic Priore. They looked like the Beach Boys-—no beards, short hair, nice pants and shirts.

That all seems tame , doesn’t it? Later, Berkley Free Speech Movement,SDS,1968 Dem. convention riots and the bombs set off by the Weather Underground (Bill Ayres,et al.)

I think the Deep State and Dems are overconfident they can handle the 2021 version if things go south. Working within the system may seem quaint by then.

Appeal or not: His lawyer is going after much more than one “news” organization.

I am pleased the family is going to appeal.

I hope that is true.

Wish them good luck.

Not sure you're not being sarcastic but I'm in my 60s and have already noticed a decline. Trump's high energy amazes and impresses me.

This Commie weasel in a black dress proves how important that voting for Constitutional candidates is.

But of course, the courts are so packed with liberal judges that it’s become a bad joke.

They only plastered their faces all over the place, and everyone knows those honkeys all look alike.

The US Congress just tried to impeach Trump because of something Trump wrote on Twitter.

Your government no longer works for you.

If I was a liberal in 2019, I’d be laughing and shitting on everyone too. :)

Your government has never worked for you. The only difference in this government and any other is they have always allowed the citizens to prosper as long as they prosper more. If they fail to prosper then watch out.

Sorry folks, I thought it was weak case of slander from the start. On the up side, much of the media had to show the student(s) were not bad guys harassing a Native American.

If there was a photo of Sandmann and the Indian attached to the story, then there was defamation. Stupid assed judge.
