This guy is suing to get access to Grand Jury testimony which the law does not permit him to have.“He [Mueller] told us that Donald Trump obstructed justice.”
I wonder if Nadler will have the chutzpah to actually tell a court that.See, this is what I mean by saying that the Warren Court’s fraudulent 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan decision is the linchpin of Political Correctness.
Sullivan is fraudulent because SCOTUS claimed that the First Amendment affected the right of someone - specifically, politicians and judges - to sue for libel. The reality is that “the” freedom of the press of which 1A speaks is freedom as it existed in 1792. The whole object of the Bill of Rights in general and of 1A in particular was to assure the public that not rights of the people - the right to sue for libel not excluded - would not be changed under the then-new Constitution.
Taking away the right of someone - even an elected official - to sue for libel was not the purpose, and is not the meaning, of the First Amendment.
The reasons why Sullivan is bad precedent, including the above, include the facts that journalism is a leftist cartel, and that Democrats go along - and get along famously with - that cartel. No “liberal” ever gets libeled. And that means that the Sullivan decision only compromises the rights of Republican officials and their voters.
A courtroom setting is the only place where facts and logic can weigh more than political BS.
Certain judges and politicians can discern the penumbra of obstruction. /S
