It's too bad Nunes can't sue Maddow personally. It would be very fitting if he were awarded a big chunk of her $30 million dollar a year salary.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

NBC is far left hate mongering and racism.
It's not legitimate News.
Maddow is a typical angry left wing crackpot Democrat guy.

So much for free speech.

So much for free speech.

No one stopped any speech. They just want to hold people accountable for what they say.

So much for free speech.

And therein lies the left's problem with understanding things. They seem to think that free speech means you don't have any consequences when you open your yap.

No one stopped any speech. They just want to hold people accountable for what they say.

People love to use the threat and nuisance of these lawsuits to prevent people from speaking freely about them.

It’s absolutely a disrespect of the freedom of speech.

You do realize, don't you, that free speech applies to the government trying to squash political speech, right? It doesn't apply to private individuals suing because someone defamed them.

 

[Marener]

Frivolous lawsuits shouldn’t be one of them.

The judicial system (where these lawsuits are managed) is the government.

I agree. But slander and libel aren’t frivolous.

 

[hadit]

The judicial system (where these lawsuits are managed) is the government.

And the First Amendment specifically states that CONGRESS can't write legislation denying free speech. It says nothing about suing for defamation or slander. In fact, courts routinely close proceedings, thus preventing outsiders from hearing anything about the case.

 

[Marener]

I agree. But slander and libel aren’t frivolous.

Alleged slander and libel

Nunes has a history of filing frivolous lawsuits alleging slander and libel.

What makes the law suit frivolous and be specific cuck.

What makes the law suit frivolous and be specific cuck.

He can’t prove actual malice.

But he filed the lawsuit in Texas where the courts don’t care about standards anymore so it’s anyone’s guess what happens next.

That's what the trial is for idiot. I didn't know Manhattan was in Texas, you know where he filed the suit. You are a low iq low information clown.

So, for you, Nunes’ concern is frivolous but Madcow’s lies are not.

My mistake. I misread an article.

This is the guy that sued Twitter over an account labeled Devin Nunes’ cow.

Of note, two of three of his allegations were tossed.
