Judge sends Dominion’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News to trial
The Hill ^

Posted on 03/31/2023 1:36:28 PM PDT by FarCenter

A judge in Delaware has ordered a jury trial in Dominion Voting Systems’ blockbuster lawsuit against Fox News, setting the stage for one of the most consequential defamation decisions against an American media company in decades.

Lawyers for Fox and Dominion faced off in court during a two-day hearing for summary judgment last week, with each side unsuccessfully arguing the court should rule in their favor and forgo a jury trial that is expected to span weeks and could further bring to light internal discussions at the network following the 2020 election.

Dominion is suing Fox for $1.6 billion in connection with what it alleges was the network’s airing of false information about the company’s software, claims promoted by former President Trump’s associates and allies after the election.

...could further bring to light internal discussions at the network following the 2020 election.

What about bringing further light onto the "internals" of the Dominion machines?

These are not judges. They are jack-booted storm trooper Nazis.

That’s right. Dominion went on offense hard. It isn’t even the money this is to make sure no one challenges the cheat machines.ever. Of course they filed in Delaware

This “Judge” is a fine example of what a bunch of corrupt frauds our Feddy “judges” are. The bastards don’t even deserve having their own court TV show. TV audiences would pick up on their unfairness and bias right away.

No offense, but when I become king, people who use the expression “Discovery will be interesting” will be subject to summary flogging.

Read the article. Discovery was “interesting,”
But for the plaintiff. The judge has already determined that the Fox reports were false.

That said, I’ve been troubled all along by the plaintiff’s ability to show damages. Did they lose any contracts as a result of the reporting? Not that I’ve heard but then again, as with most legal issues, the media is too lazy and stupid to be aware of, let alone report on, what the actual claimed damages are. This is a “1.6B lawsuit” because that’s the arbitrary label plaintiff put on it. They could just as well have labeled it $500 million or $9 billion. That’s another thing that irks me about reporting on lawsuits… never once have I heard it reported that the amount of the lawsuit is plaintiff’s arbitrary number they slapped on it

Hopefully Mike Lindell still has those Data Packets he can present as evidence.

Better than the president with a record of restricting our travel, unless you’re his unvetted Syrians, no gatherings of 10 or more, unless you’re burning cities.
We went without work while he lined the big pharma cartels pockets with our dollars. A bumpstock ban, cuz what 2A.
Fauci n birx ran trump by his v@gina.
People died alone in hospitals and homes without the decency of a funeral.
To ensure his tyranny is permanent, he gave them mail in ballots.
That is his record as prez. The deaths of babies in the womb of vaccinated women… those are his responsibility.
What kind of sick American would ore for more of that.I know many would hand him their last weapon, last round and call it 4Dchess.
Sick, sick people who love the suffering of the masses and the death of freedom.

So since you seem to have a direct line to Turtle, why don’t you tell me what part of the GOP stopped ANY of that over the past 30 years as well? Including DeSantis?

I’ll wait.

An important piece of argumentative information which should come up is that the democrats, themselves, use to make all sorts of crazy claims about Dominion machines in previous election cycles and Dominion never pursued. A history of conscientiously not challenging a claim IS a weighted factor.

WTF are you talking about? This has been the Plan all along. Get this to trial and let Discovery begin!

Once the source code is revealed containing the Rear Door and the Vote Flipping Algorithm, we may be at the turning of the tide in the War Against the Machines.
