People Are Mockingly Referring to Sidney Powell's Dominion Strategy as "The Tucker Carlson Defense":

They did not cover this defense back when I took criminal law (I AMJURED this course in law school).




People are quick to compare this strategy to one Fox News incorporated while defending host Tucker Carlson. The Judge in the case, Mary Kay Vyskocil, agreed with the strategy, writing, “Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statement he makes.”

The Tucker Carlson Defense is now a trending topic on Twitter. Attorney Ron Filipkowski writes, “In Sidney Powell’s response to the Dominion lawsuit, her lawyers state that she never actually believed what she was saying, she was just representing her client’s position. The Tucker Carlson defense.


And author Grant Stern notes, “In deploying The Tucker Carlson defense, Sidney Powell is admitting that her credibility is completely nonexistent.”

that defamation is a tort, not a crime.

(The AmJur Award was more fun when they actually gave you the damn book.)

CJS and Hornbook awards were still books, though.
