[ExI] Justice Thomas ​wants the presadent to be able to sue for Libel

[John Clark]

The USA takes yet another step toward totalitarianism, Trump must be
smiling:

*“I’m going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative
and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money.
We’re going to open up those libel laws. So when The New York Times writes
a hit piece which is a total disgrace or when The Washington Post, which is
there for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money
instead of having no chance of winning because they’re totally protected.”*
