You are correct. The watchman on the wall scenario. We have to warn all about Satan and the coming wrath especially while we still have the first amendment but that is under attack big time.

"Libel law in the United States generally makes it difficult for public figures to sue reporters or other people who criticize them. To win such a case, the plaintiff must demonstrate that factually incorrect statements were made with actual malice or a reckless disregard for the truth.

"Trump said he would like to lower that standard. “We’re going to have people sue you like you never got sued before,” he said."

[Libel law in the United States generally makes it difficult for public figures to sue reporters or other people who criticize them.]

It already happened in Illinois. Will Free Republic will be affected with rulings like this?
