Rudy's admitted that he lied about the two Georgia pole workers but he says that liable is covered by the First Amendment. Is that true? Was the First Amendment created so you to hurt someone with lies? That seems to be what Rudy...and by extension Trump and his cohorts...want to use for harm done by their lies.
Still want to stand by the statement that you cons are the ones who support the Constitution?
I'm sorry. I wasn't sure which "Rudy" you were talking about. I spoke to my buddy Rudy who is a regular patron at a certain topless bar, and he agreed with my opinion. You meant Rudy Giuliani. You should have been more specific. Giuliani was found LIABLE for LIBEL by an Obama appointed DC District Court Judge, Beryl Howell. I realize that most Liberals know very little about the actual law and how it works, (given that possessing such information would require a working familiarity with, and comprehension of, a large number of big words), however... a Republican being convicted of anything in DC is hardly news. In my opinion, a Republican would be guilty of libel in DC if they stated that a p*******e had molested ten children when in fact he only molested nine.
Ever think of something? If two walrusettes from Atlanta can file suit in DC over something that happened in Fulton County GA,
(and make no mistake, their lawyers did this because of an overwhelmingly hostile jury pool) Trump has very good grounds to have his trial venue moved to another location with a much friendlier pool of potential jurors. Being found guilty is one thing. Having that verdict survive appeal when it was reached in a venue that is obviously quite hostile to the defendant is quite another.
Giuliani was found guilty of not providing certain evidence that was not in his possession, basically. The FBI had confiscated it and would not release it. How convenient.
Giuliani admitted to making libelous statements, however, he also correctly stated that certain kinds of statements, which might otherwise be considered libelous, are protected by the first amendment. Had this decision been made by a Conservative judge, the outcome would have been quite different.
Speaking of walrusettes, the Fulton County DA, Fani Willis, who brought these charges would do well to see the results of frivolous bulls**t by looking at her companion in crime, Jack Smith.
I remember pointy-headed Progressives gloating about the conviction of former VA governor Bob McDonald. They gloated right up to the point where a LIBERAL dominated SCOTUS UNANIMOUSLY vacated the conviction due to prosecutorial misconduct. Wanna know who the misbehaving prosecutor was? None other than Jack Smith, the hero du jour of the looney left who brought charges against Trump.
When a prominent Liberal legal scholar and a prominent Conservative legal scholar (Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley respectively) agree that Jack Smith's case is frivolous and even a guilty finding will be reversed on appeal, Progs should be worried.
