The only way to stop it is to make it so expensive no one dares.
The solution is to be found in a Bulgarian or perhaps Belorussian hit squad with multiple contracts
And when the cases finally wind their way through to the Supreme Court, DON’T do a Sessions and recuse yourself.
:)
Doesn’t work that way anymore.
If you sue a leftist today, they become fabulously rich off their GoFunMe proceeds. GoFundMe has basically become a slush fund for leftist activism.
Kav’s WIFE needs to sue for herself and her children.
Lawsuits — the ONLY way to stop this!!
The only way to stop it is to make it so expensive no one dares.Your list is long. NBC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, USA Today, The New Yorker, and the parade of individuals of all stripes who cannot resist the lure of the bright lights and cameras to echo and validate your accusers in the media.
Agreed, tho it’s not necessary to resort to violence. The thing to do is to sue the MSM for the restoration of your reputation.Require the MSM to headline/feature in broadcast, so much pro-Kavanaugh propaganda - on pain of insupportable daily fines and having to broadcast the judgement against them on the news, or print it on the front page - that Kavanaugh’s name polls positively. Consistently positively.
When I say, “the MSM,” what I actually mean is “the Associated Press and its member newspapers and broadcasters.” Concomitant with the libel suit, sue that bunch under the Sherman AntiTrust Act of 1890. Adam Smith’s criticism of monopoly goes like this:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)That bunch has been “meeting together,” virtually, on a continual basis since before the Civil War. And not for “merriment and diversion,” either.The “conspiracy against the public” is the promotion of criticism of American society - and the concomitant promotion of big government to cure society’s putative ills. Raised to a level of cynicism toward the one and naiveté towards the other. Kavanaugh just happens to be the name du jour for journalism’s targeting of society. George Zimmerman, the Duke lacrosse team, the SBVT, Roy Moore . . . the name of who is persecuted by that bunch is “legion, for we are many.” Including, essentially, every Republican of any prominence.
BTW, Sherman provides for quadruple damages in civil litigation.
If confirmed, it would be a mistake for him to sue. That case could end up in the Supreme Court, where his fellow justices would have to rule for or against him. The whole process would further diminish his credibility.
Confirmation is the ultimate exoneration.
Should he not be confirmed, then he, as an unjustly accused citizen, would be free to sue.
As much as I detest lawyers I must concur.
The media and predatory lawyers must be reined in or the only other solution will be violence.
I have a high tolerance for professional “mischief”
I had a surgery that went bad and it was because the surgeon didn’t use rubber gloves to remove the stitches and instead used his fingernail to loosed a stubborn stitch and it resulted in an infection that left me half my vocal cords paralyzed and I have increasing trouble breathing and swallowing..
I am still having recupercutions from this act and I wished to God I sued him and the hospital.
Did I say he was a foreigner? Yes, he was an Egyptian doctor.
Never again will a non american doctor lay a hand on me.
You are wrong
All can and will claim 1st amendment protection. They can say what ever they want whenever they want and they will.
What you have suggested is water off a duck’s back.
Kumbaya is counterproductive
Ah, but the First Amendment does not intend to, and does not, create a “Fourth Estate” which is comparable to nobility or priesthood.Scalia explained the First Amendment’s language thus:
“the freedom . . . of the press” does not mean the same as “freedom of the press” would have meant. The latter formulation would have been absolute, and would not have admitted of suits for libel. The former formulation refers to freedom of the press as it existed when the First Amendment was formulated. Freedom, that is, to print truth and opinion but not to commit libel.As we all know, “the media” has been systematically telling half-truths - and more and more recently, outright lies - with abandon. Their main confidence that they cannot be punished is not the First Amendment alone but the fact that they are all in cahoots and have each others’ backs. And IMHO it would be hard to make the case that that has nothing to do with the fact that they are explicitly associated via the AP.The AP has already been found in violation of Sherman once, in 1945. Ironically, that was a lawsuit by another wire service, and it never assayed to attack the wire service model but, I argue, that is precisely what needs to happen now. The mission of the AP - of the wire service generally - is to disseminate the news while conserving scarce, expensive telegraphy bandwidth.
That mission made the wire services “too big to fail” when bandwidth was expensive. That is no longer true, and the wire services - and especially the gorilla in the room, the AP should be sued into oblivion.
Yes. It’s a totally appropriate parable for this situation.
