Whether it's Gavin Newsom or Donald Trump, the surest sign that someone is unfit for high elected office is their willingness to file defamation lawsuits once they are in it. Never vote for people like that.

cause, you know, the high road is doing such a great job... there may be some good strategy reasons to file bad lawsuits to encourage better law.

in fact, it IS exactly what a courtroom is for- if there's lack of good statutes or caselaw on this particular point, in the jurisdiction in which Newsome filed, then a case like this triggers a response (eventually). the parties here can afford to hash it out - there's no punching down here.

There is no lack of good case law and I'm not sure you have a good understanding of how any of this works

and i'm left wondering if you know where Newsom filed his complaint. it sure would be nice if DE took steps to expand their anti-SLAPP statute.

and if Newsom's case gets shitcanned in a way that blocks similar type cases (not just cases filed by Dems/liberals) from being viable (like being subject to fee shifting), then that's a good (eventual) result. right? ivory tower v. long term strategy hasn't been working out for the ivory tower.
