Gawker’s lawyers have filed their responses to cyberstalker Chuck C. Johnson’s crack legal team in Johnson’s defamation suit, and all I can say is “ouch.” If Chuck Johnson weren’t such a horrible malicious person I’d feel sorry for him, because he’s hopelessly outclassed here.

There are three documents, courtesy of @AdamSteinbaugh:

1. A motion to dismiss the suit for lack of jurisdiction.
2. A motion to strike the suit under California's anti-SLAPP law, which could end up costing Johnson a whole lot of money. This one might be the most amusing to read; Gawker's lawyers are scathing toward Johnson.
3. An opposition to Johnson's motion to amend his complaint.

Rarely have I enjoyed reading legal documents this much. Chuck C. Johnson is going to rue the day he filed this misguided, frivolous lawsuit. He was obviously hoping Gawker would just give him some money to go away, but that is not happening. Couldn’t happen to a more awful person.
