A lawyer for Palin used an oral argument Monday to attack a longstanding First Amendment case that provides robust protection to media outlets.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, seen here during a CPAC conference in 2022, claims that The New York Times defamed her in a 2017 editorial. | LM Otero/APAn attorney for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin opened his argument for her at a federal appeals court Monday by mounting a frontal assault on the Supreme Court decision that has been the bedrock of U.S.
But some critics of the media have also viewed Palin’s case as a potential vehicle to get the Supreme Court to overturn “I think you’re wasting time for oral argument by spending a lot of time on this question,” said Judge John Walker, an appointee and cousin of President George H.W. Bush.standard. While the decision has become core First Amendment law, critics say the ruling amounts to judge-made law and has encouraged reckless reporting.joined that chorus
Judge Reena Raggi was the most emphatic in suggesting that Rakoff erred by concluding no rational jury could have sided with the Times. “Under your thinking, if a plaintiff on the stand says, ‘Yep, I knew it was false. I’m glad I said it. I’d say it again.’ Your view is they can’t rely on that?” Sullivan, an appointee of President Donald Trump, asked the newspaper’s lawyer, Jay Ward Brown.
“The correction, it seemed to me, was pretty clear that they had made a mistake. They said they made a mistake in suggesting that there was a link between what Palin did and the shooting,” Walker said.
