Attorneys for Nick Sandmann intend to file complaints against five additional media outlets, a status report filed earlier this week says.

The report states that lawyers for the Covington Catholic High School senior intend to file lawsuits against Gannett, ABC, ViacomCBS, The New York Times and Rolling Stone.

"All of the future defendants listed above have published or republished statements made by Nathan Phillips and others that Nicholas blocked or otherwise restricted Phillips’ free movement and would not allow Phillips to retreat at the National Mall on January 18, 2019. Nicholas reserves his right to file complaints in this Court or any other court against any other potential defendant not listed above, subject to the applicable statute of limitations," the document reads.

Sandman is the high school student who found himself at the center of a controversy after his face was depicted across social media during a 2019 March for Life trip, which coincided with an Indigenous Peoples March.

And sue them PERSONALLY, too, not just their employers.

They should sue the Catholic Church too, as there were several high profile clergy who attacked Sandman viciously, especially on Twitter.

“And then go buy Oberlin College and turn it into another Hillsdale.”

Naw, turn it into a huge pro-life support center. That would really tick ‘em off and accomplish great good in so doing.

Lawyers wouldn’t go for that, heh. Nick’s big paydays are their big paydays. And hopefully this will encourage others to lodge like suits - and attys to see the payoff potential - when things of this nature occur.

It would be nice if they were required to make a retraction as well, and an apology.

They could offer certificate programs in conservative and pro-life advocacy that coincide with political science and non-profit management degree programs.
