All part of the election interference reform.

‘Don’t publish polls that are unfavorable to me’ is election interference reform?
Sounds more like an election interference mandate.

And presumably, if he loses the suit, you will call for the reform of a hopelessly biased legal system.

The journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step.
We do have some serious problems.
- Journalism (the vast majority) has dived off the cliff into the cesspool of the Left and is no longer objective.
- We have an election integrity problem. It needs fixing. Badly.
- I've never agreed withSullivan. Politicians - as much as we hate them - should abide by the same laws that apply to the rest of us. That means all laws, including those for slander and libel.
- That also means lawfare as a concept and as a practice, should be bludgeoned into extinction.

Not even sure why this is still being discussed. If Trump loses, the election was rigged and a fraud. If he wins, the election was fine. He's played this game his whole life.... even back to TV ratings.

Prediction: Not a month will go by in the coming years that you don’t enthusiastically cheer some act of lawfare, threatened or delivered

Depends on your definition of lawfare, I suspect.

Your functional definition is ‘a Republican gets charged with something’ so yeah not by that definition.
Well there’s Liz Cheney.
Maybe your definition is ‘a maga republican gets charged for something’

She's not been charged. Only accused of witness tampering and ex-parte discussions with a witness.

And of course this is the civil version of lawfare (which Jolly cheered, BTW).
Despite the fact that it’ll be DOA when it goes before a judge the process is still the
punishmentintimidation.Hopefully he’ll do this in a jurisdiction with a decent anti-slapp law and maybe even get his shitbag attorneys sanctioned.

Remind me again, lawfare fanboi, is imprisonment the only life altering punishment that exists?

It's number one on the charts with a bullet. In some countries, literally.
Right now, you're hyperventilating over anything Trump might do. When he has the FBI raid Biden's home, when he uses the Justice Department like a rapier against a political opponent and his supporters, when the Trump White House colludes with local DA's across the country to bring bogus charges -charges sometimes created out of bootstrapping dissimilar laws together in legal pretzel logic - you'll have a point.
As for some of the current civil litigation by Trump against the media... I've spoken about Sullivan many, many times. It's bad law. It should have been overturned years ago. Politicians and public figures should enjoy the same standards for libel and defamation.
