Open Thread – Republicans seek to shut down negative coverage
Justice Clarence Thomas on Tuesday called for the Supreme Court to reconsider New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 ruling interpreting the First Amendment to make it hard for public officials to prevail in libel suits.
Meanwhile, an overprivileged white kid sues The Washington Post for $250,000,000.
Probably not related. Just a coincidence, no doubt.
Remind me again that the supreme court is “unbiased, non political and impartial”, Thomas is acting for Trump here and it’s beyond obvious. As for the smirking Maga hatter the video is damning, provoking the near universal reaction of “I’d like to smack the crap out of that kid!”. Still do. This is a lawyer’s fishing expedition , the goal is that old favorite “50 thousand and I’ll walk away”.
Speaking of shutting down coverage, has anyone checked the moderation bucket lately?
I don’t know why that comment got flagged. Try it again and let’s see what happens.
“He calls it Socialism. I call it caring about your neighbor and that.”
