Palin wins first battle with NYTimes in her libel lawsuit
This should be entertaining: A federal judge has ruled that the New York Times editorial writer who smeared Sarah Palin in an editorial will have to testify under oath about that editorial.
The editorial tried to blame Palin for the 2011 Tucson mass shooting by an insane man, even though the New York Times’ own reporting had previously shown without doubt that no such link existed. In order to avoid losing their case, the editorial writer is going to have to claim that he doesn’t read his own newspaper, and thus did not know about the Times own reporting on this story. Otherwise, it will appear that the editorial was malicious and a lie, and thus libelous.
Like I said, this should be entertaining. Either Palin wins the lawsuit hands down, or the New York Times will have to make itself look like a piece of junk. Which, by the way, it has mostly been for the past three decades.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

This is an excellent development! (and it WILL be highly entertaining, not to mention Educational!)
(I’m liking this Don Surber quite a bit!)
>Anytime you can get these people under Oath for discovery, is a gift from Heaven!!
Haven’t had a chance to search yet— anyone have the link(s) handy to the actual Federal District Court PDF’s of the most current Ruling?? (I haven’t read the actual lawsuit from Palin as of yet either, if someone has that PDF handy….)
I’m no Lawyer, but personally, I believe it’s best to read the actual documents to get a grip on the real legal-questions at hand, rather than personalities or manufactured narratives.
Tangentially– this is what in-part (legally) prevents quasi-terror groups like CAIR (unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding Case, btw) from suing folks like RUSH or LEVIN.
They are subjected to discovery under-oath, and that’s when you dig deep for every incriminating email & text.
I will pivot slightly, but only for educational-purposes, but I don’t want to detract from the main Thread:
[CAIR, not to mention their best-friends-forever the editorial board of the NYT’s, have specifically targeted Palin on multiple occasions.]

This is why Trumps court appointments are so important. Once threads are pulled the entire corrupt enterprises gets exposed, but only if the left is denied from putting in their own people to investigate themselves. And the right should never voluntarily reuse themselves unless the rule of law can be trusted which isn’t today.
