I think it will be interesting to see how they "prove" libel.
I realize you all want to run for the first amendment, but that's not what we're talking about, except in the abstract. The case is about statements being made that were false. The burden is NOT on the writer to prove the statements true, the burden is on the other side to prove them UNTRUE.
We ARE still living in the USA you know......where Free Speech is rule #1.
THEN, and only THEN do we have a ball game.
Everybody wants to be case law.......

It's a long road to libel, and then civil penalties.

I've noticed our resident attornies have NOT chimed in here.
Boys?
