Palin Picks The Wrong Fight and gets LOL'd in a court of law...

Can the NYT countersue Palin?

I will purchase a 5 year sub to the NYT if they do so. I will encourage others to do the same or similar.. a one year sub if your of limited means..

1. I'm Guessing They're Not Stupid Enough To Waste Money Paying Lawyers For No Reason

Meanwhile, Palin will likely pay her lawyers to file an Appeal, and the NY Times will have to pay theirs to respond once again.

6. I'm sure the NYT has good lawyers on staff, working full-time

Also I'm sure those lawyers would have settled it 5 years ago, if they thought they could lose the case. They knew they weren't gonna lose, so why rush it? Like others have said, Sarah Palin is dragging this to the Supreme Court to test the Sullivan ruling. That means somebody very wealthy is paying her lawyers' fees. This isn't for the money, it's for the glory of punching another hole in the Bill of Rights. (Or least trying to.)

2. Doubt NYT will. They've admitted they were wrong, but not liable.

3. Fwiw, I believe the NYT would have elected McCain/Palin if they could have,

with the same betrayals of trust and corrupt journalism they used to help elect tRump/Pence. Pursuing the same interests.

I'm also glad that she gets nothing -- not a 100th of the unpleasant truth was told that should have been. But I view this as more like a falling out among thieves once the interests that brought them together to elect Republicans diverged. Like CNN and tRump.

4. On what basis can the Times countersue? The allegation made by the Times was false. n/t

5. Moreover, a "counter suit" must, by definition, be brought as part

of Palin’s action (she sues, the Times counter sues). The case has already gone to the jury. Pleadings closed long ago.
