I hope he is able to hit them with a SLAPP (i.e. Strategic lawsuit against public participation) claim. In California, you can turn around and sue someone who is suing you in order to chill your 1st amendment rights.

Examples of SLAPPs:

Oprah Winfrey, as defendant, won a SLAPP filed against her by the cattle industry.

Barbra Streisand, as plaintiff, lost a SLAPP she filed against an aerial photographer involved in the California Coastal Records Project.
