Today the publishers offices can be raided and with a warrant, evidence can be collected
That evidenc can be e mail evicencing a conspiracy between various political persons and entities involved in the common purpose of destroying the president.
The Pentagon Papers case puts somewhat of a damper on that.I am far more interested in getting the minions of Obama who fed that stuff to the publishers.
The other thing that has to happen is that the Sullivan decision - which was unanimous holding by the Warren Court - has to be eviscerated or overturned.
Sullivan prevents most libel suits by government officials, whether they be “liberals” or “conservatives.” But that is precisely the same as saying that a law against sleeping under bridges applies to rich and poor alike - because “liberals” never get libeled. The definition of a “liberal” is someone who goes along - and gets along very well - with the journalism cartel. “Conservatives,” OTOH . . .
At least we know that SCOTUS wouldn’t uphold Sullivan unanimously; Justice Thomas and Justice Kavanaugh surely cannot think Sullivan is correct.
Get SCOTUS to allow conservatives to sue for libel, and the wire services and their memberships are in a world of hurt. They’ve been "getting away with murder.”
