RE: Can't Clinton sue his defamers?
Of course. Damned near anyone can sue damned near anyone for damned near anything. In Clinton's case, given his net worth, he could probably sue as a pauper and not even pay a filing fee. He could represent himself, or his wife could do the paperwork. The defendants will have to hire an attorney, file an answer, make an appearance, and pay for a defense. If he proves reckless disregard of the truth, or actual malice (ill will (such as being a Republican or Liberal Democrat), or knowing disregard of truth or falsity), he will clean up, especially if he sues in Washington, D.C. where the locals love him. I hope he is stockpiling tapes of Jay Leno and other rich people who are boring the public to tears with their slanders. These possibilities give the couple something useful to do in their forthcoming retirement. I hope the comedians' defense lawyers are urging their clowns on to more and more outrageous slanders. I look forward to years of thoroughly enjoyable court cases and reruns, especially if he is impeached and convicted and removed (will jack up the damages.) He only needs to win one case. He ought to win thousands, starting with the Republican Congressmen who have been so stupid as to speak outside of the House chamber. |
