This is important news. Dictators try to weaken defamation standards to make it easier for them to sue, and so to deter criticism of them. Justices Thomas & Gorsuch have previously suggested they might be willing to do this, but at least for now, there aren’t four votes to take a case.

JUST IN: Supreme Court has turned down a request to take up Trump ally Steve Wynn's bid to upend the landmark NYT v. Sullivan press freedom precedent.

Not to mention the other SCOTUS knowing and doing nothing about them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sexual Misconduct Allegations
One accusation came from a manicurist whom Wynn later paid a $7.5M settlement
In February 2018, Nevada regulators fined Wynn's company $20 million for failing to respond to sexual misconduct claims
Suppose the RW got its wish and overturned Sullivan. Aside from the deleterious effects on democracy, wouldn’t the RW noise machine probably get hit hardest?
He would be sickened to see who he has become!

- All NDAs are invalid.
- You are required to tell the truth under penalty of perjury. If a court can prove you intentionally lied, you go to jail.
I think the problems here are less than what this fixes...
for a few Justices
who still believe in
Freedom of the Press.
And for understanding
the need
for free and
unfettered access to information ...
even if it isn't flattering.

Are they finding out what’s horrific mistake this admin has been?! As far as I’m concerned, the corrupt SCOTUS is in part responsible for the monster that’s been created.
May I respectfully amend that?
How about ... in LARGE PART responsible?
Another corrupt pillar of power
He told me how corrupt Steve Wynn is!
