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.

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

"applies the same everywhere" sounds pretty glib and ivory tower, to me. anyway, i'm sure you've litigated this, but can we agree that this grid of statutes constitutes just one example how differently 1st amendment rights are enforced in the united states? www.rcfp.org/anti-slapp-l...
