Engorgeous George 2,331 Posted April 16 7 hours ago, TimHauck said: @Engorgeous George, do you think Garcia’a family could have a defamation case against people like JD Vance stating definitively he is a gang member, or Stephen Miller saying “I promise you if he was your neighbor you’d move right away”? He can try. The law does grant a great deal of leeway, a partial privilege really in matters of public interest, and this would be one such matter. I have no reason to believe he would be successful if he tried. I can think of no analogous case being successful. That said, civil torts was not really my area of practice. Also, if I recall defamation is a personal action not one carrying over to family. I don't recall too many suits being successful by family members even for disparaging inaccurately, unfairly, and with intent to injure the recently deceased. I am fairly certain that in this political and legal environment his family could find a lawyer to bringa case not for defamation per se, but for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Such a suit might even find a judge willing to allow it to go forward. On apeal such a suit would run into trouble as government officials are allowed to debate the important issues of the day.

Engorgeous George 2,331 Posted April 16 3 minutes ago, TimHauck said: E Jean Carroll? It is fine with me if his family tries. All I will say about the E. Jean Carroll matter is that in the law there are always outlier cases, exceptional cases that come to have little or no precedential value. I suspect hers is one such case. The results of individual lawsuits, individual verdicts are not particularly precedential, appealate ruling s are more so, but even those on unusual or outlier caseddo not govern matterds. Still, a good thought by you. if an attorney was trying to make the case you are hoping to make thye may well trot out that case as an example in support of their suit.

I’m sure most here would say they don’t care, but I am curious about this. The El Salvador president has said he won’t release him because he did such as good job making his county safer. But what grounds does the country he is a citizen of have to keep him imprisoned? Even if he is proven to be in a gang, is that a crime on its own? If anything, if El Salvador is afraid of this “dangerous terrorist,” they should want him out of their country if another country is actually requesting him. Unless they’re afraid he’ll try to pull some Con Air stuff and hijack the plane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe Trump tried but surrounded himself with deep state people in his first term that hindered what he would like to do. So this time he went outside the deep state with his picks and is quickly and decisively enacting his agenda. But for whatever reason he didn't do as much as he could have in his first term on certain issues, and I won't defend that. No gotcha here, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
