re: #9 teleskiguy

I’m thinking Sarah Palin hasn’t taken a few things into consideration.

1) She’s a public figure and the standard for libel of a public figure is actual malice—a very high standard to meet.

2) Discovery is a two-way street. Depositions, too.

3) I also question whether this isn’t past the statute of limitations, since this occurred in 2011. OK, this is for something the Times said recently on its editorial page. Sue me for not knowing-I don’t subscribe to the Times.

I have not seen the pleadings, so my opinion might change, but I do remember the advertisement very well and I personally thought it was awful on Palin’s part.
