This could be a deal breaker for me, and all Trump supporters ought to warn him ~~
Infringement of free speech is very dangerous.
How would his laws affect small media, Drudge’s ‘din of small voices’?
Will nuisance suits be permitted?
Will the cost of legal defense drive out the little guy?
Limited government! Particularly when it comes to political discussion.
This should concern everyone.
And how arbitrary will the punishments be?
For example, ifinnegan asked how this might affect the Free Republic Forum.
If a single post is libelous, will the entire forum be deleted?
One can imagine his frustrations and on the surface the idea sounds good....but the repercussions could be horrific.
There must be other ways to keep the irresponsible media in check.
Warn him? That’s amusing.
Imagine a liberal judge declaring that FR libels Obama, post a vanity, get sued, get the site shut down.
What a great idea, stunningly great. This guy is no conservative.
Hopefully Congress wouldn’t be interested in this idea. Who knows if he’s even serious, this might just be his way of flipping off people today. He loves threatening people, I bet he collected a lot of lunch money back in the day.
