I don’t care what court decided it wrongly. It is unjust. Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942) decided that something not for sale and that never crossed state lines is still interstate commerce. Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005) allows government to seize property from one private entity and give it to another call call it “public use.” And on and on.
Bill Clinton is a public figure. His spouse, political career, the college he graduated from, his political views are all well known by the public. He willingly and deliberately became a public figure. Other than his name and the fact that he shot three people, nothing was known about Rittenhouse before the riots in Kenosha. It’s manifestly unjust to raise the bar toward proving defamation just because the news media singled you out.
You are preaching to the choir. I think Sullivan should be overruled.
So do Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas:

But until it’s reversed, the law is what it is, as unjust as it might be.
