This reminds me of that story about the liberal woman that interrupted Paul Ryan's dinner over a 300-dollar bottle of wine his dinner guests bought. http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/paul-ryan-wine-a... For people who so often tout their "enlightenment," they sure do behave like adolescents alot.

34 weeks ago @ Big Government -
Most tort reformers have either capped damages, or enhanced the pleading requirements for filing. I doubt either of those two measures would in any way limit McGinnis or Random House's liability.
The infractions are just too flagrant. And the internal e-mails from Random House's in-house counsel amount to the only smoking gun proving "actual malice," the constitutional standard for defamation liability when the target of the libel or slander is a public figure, that I have ever heard of. In short, this is one of those few times that someone (McGinnis) has done something so stupid, so reckless, so beyond-the-pale that he will lose in court even when the protections of the 1st Amendment attach.
To summarize, the only "reform" that would prevent this lawsuit would be to close the courthouse doors to the Palins outright. And if that's the reform you have in mind, that makes you just as facist as I imagine you would label conservatives: all too eager to goose-step over the Palins due-process-rights in your jackboots and brown shirt.
