Y'all the defendant/s will try a motion to dismiss in that defamation before it ever gets to discovery where they will argue lack of Actual Malice/causation/that the statement was an opinion and they will likely win.

Why would they want to re-introduce it when Miller has enacted most of its provisions via EO.

It was bad bill Jenn.

Given your name I am surprised you think Trump could prevail on a defamation suit for that statement.

Calling Trump a pedo guy is not defamatory.

Hi resist. It's not defamation.

Anything said in her official capacity is immune to defamation suits.

Also defamation can't be class action.

He was also liable for battery for sexual abuse. And the statement found to be false and defamatory was that he didn't rape Ms Caroll.

It also will never get to discovery. It's going to go down in a MTD.

It was tossed for being to long and unfocused.

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social · 3h

Under what basis?

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social · 3h

Oh def agree with you there. You would need to find someone pretty out there to want to end both but I wish her luck in her political endeavors finding and supporting said candidates.

True! I know a lot of the progressives and far left oppose Qualified immunity, so that might be a good place to start.

Ok. Then make sure you vote for people who oppose Sovereign and Qualified immunity for the next election before the SOL expires.

That depends on the sport. You know sport scientist have been tackling this issue. We have rules for various games that carry all the way to the Olympics. But people don't seem to want to go with that.

Body dysmorphic disorder is a medical condition that causes severe distress, discomfort and has a 57% occurrence of suicidal ideation. The best treatment has been found to be transition. Do you consider Psych meds elective?

Frankly, anybody taking the bait of the Gov accounts is getting blocked too. If you don't have the survivor skills to not feed the trolls?

By elective care do you mean non-emergency procedures which can be scheduled in advance like knee-replacements or removing kidney stones?

And see, you could say require a test because HRT can balance that.

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social · 15h

I mean it applies to all sides and their lawsuits. And is about one of the 2 things most people get wrong about defamation law.

It's not a good solution to almost any problems. There are other ones instead.

He vetoed SB-418.

As for the interview it is described here.

My pinned statement is just how most cases will go down. And is rarely wrong. And one needs to act correctly otherwise it doesn't help

So for example defamation needs to be specific, not generalized.

I have deep concern about vying for that and his recent vetoand comments to Charlie Kirk about trans athletes show him to be a fair weather ally.

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social · 16h

Not if you are the one suing for defamation because there you are making the claim "When they said x they were lying" so the burden falls on the plantiff to prove all elements including falsity.

The fair reason goes to the fault element which is also a big problem if they sue.

China gets tons of money from their corporations. China is communist. They could also be hiding their position. Waiting till the right moment. So again, how does one prove someone doesn't hold a belief system much less one that people wildly disagree on what it actually stands for.

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social · 16h

Ok. Is Ruth Cain from Brooksville FL a defamed party in this?

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social · 16h

It's not because "Communist" is a mindset.

How would you prove they were not communist?

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social · 16h

Yeah and even then it's not about an action the party itself did. Plus it's going to very easily slide into political hyperbole and opinion.

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social · 17h

Correct. It is not like the Democrats could successfully sue for defamation.
