much more unlikely--even if she lucks into a Trumpist/RW ideologue as a judge.

New York (CNN Business)The New York Times has prevailed in defending itself against a defamation lawsuit brought by Sarah Palin after jurors found she had not proven her case.

The jury of nine, which has been deliberating since Friday afternoon, found the New York Times not liable for Palin's defamation suit against the paper.

Unbeknownst to them, during deliberations, Rakoff ruled that Palin's attorneys did not prove a key element of their case, and that he would set aside the jury's verdict should it have found for Palin.


Oh the humanity!

This case has been going on for 4 years. She will appeal hoping to ultimately move her case to the Supreme Court. The conservatives on the Court are itching to address the issues Palin is using for her case.

But it's hard to believe she's paying for this legal challenge herself as it's got to be costing hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more. I suspect that there is a person or group paying her legal bills because they want to see the press stifled by restricting the media. This dark money is being used to play a long game to gut the fundamental liberalism in our democratic republic.
