Second Circuit Court of Appeals Reinstates Sarah Palin's Defamation Lawsuit Against the New York Times, Reversing the Improper Verdict Engineered By the Lower Hawaiian Judge

Sarah Palin sued the New York Times for claiming that her "target" map spurred the shooting of Gabbie Giffords. She did not sue for the first time they falsely claimed that, back in 2011.

She sued when the New York Times again reasserted this lie in 2017, even after the New York Times had previously retracted the false claim.

As many pointed out: The New York Times doesn't even trust the New York Times' reportage.

"The Nation's Paper of Record," indeed! The New York Times isn't even the Paper of Record at the New York Times.

For a public figure to sue for defamation, he must establish "actual malice" -- the defamatory claim must not only be false, but the defaming party must have known it was false, or was in willful disregard whether it was true or false.

In this case, the New York Times itself previously reported their false claim was, in fact, false. Thus, the New York Times as an institution certainly knew it was false, and any NYT "journalist" "reporting" at a later date could (and should) just check the NYT archive to verify whether this claim was true or false.

Note: Reading the case, it appears that courts have imposed even further hurdles to find major media companies guilty of liable-- you can't just prove the institution as a whole knew the claim was false or was likely to be false. You also have to prove the specific individual working for that media company knew the claim was false or was likely to be false.

The biased Hawaiian judge created a weird new procedure in which he conducted his own "evidentiary review" during the trial and took the case out of the jury's hands, saying that he had decided, on his own, that, as a "matter of law," the Republican Loses and the Democrats Win, the way Satan demands it to be.


The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has now reversed this jackass opinion, and reinstated the lawsuit.


Sarah Palin Scores New Trial in N.Y. Times Defamation Case


Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against the New York Times over an editorial linking Palin to the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords was revived on Wednesday.

Several "major issues" during Palin's unsuccessful 2022 federal trial in Manhattan "impugn the reliability of that verdict," the Second Circuit said.

While the jury was deliberating, US District Court Judge Jed S. Rakoff tossed the case, saying that "as a matter of law," the news outlet wasn't liable.

That ruling "improperly intruded on the province of the jury by making credibility determinations," Judge John M. Walker Jr., of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, said Wednesday.

Rakoff didn't inform the jury of his decision, but Bloomberg News reported that several jurors deliberating in the case learned from smart-phone push notifications that the judge had said he would rule in favor of the Times.

The trial was also marred by improperly excluded evidence and inaccurate jury instructions, the Second Circuit said.

...

The Second Circuit vacated the jury verdict finding the Times wasn't liable and vacated the district court's separate ruling dismissing the case. In vacating Rakoff's ruling, the Second Circuit said there's a sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to find for Palin on the question of actual malice.

By the way: this biased, corrupt judge first dismissed the case on a 12(1)(b) motion, then, when that was reversed, he engineered this new way to dismiss the case, again.

And now he's reversed. Again.

And even worse: The judge made his "secret" ruling but let the jury deliberate anyway. So that if they returned a "not liable" verdict, his personal ruling would look stronger.

But his "secret" ruling somehow leaked out to the press and the jurors got notified the case had already been decided by the judge, who ruled against Palin.

Then, they also decided that Palin should lose.

Maybe they were slightly influenced by the judge's not-so-secret ruling, huh?

Say, maybe it's time to take him off this case, huh?

And off the bench, too?

Charles Glasser writes at Instapundit:


I've been before the trial judge in the past, and although I have deep respect for him, he played fast and loose with several procedural matters, and contrary to law, held an "evidentiary hearing" at the motion to dismiss stage. A real no-no.

I'm reading the case, here.

Did the court demand that a different judge take this case, rather than the one who has time and time again twisted the law to deny justice to Sarah Palin?

Of course not:

We do not find it necessary to remand the case to a different district judge.

Let's see what exciting new procedures he invents this time to make sure his filthy tribe wins again.

(By the way, he's also repeatedly excluded evidence damaging to the New York Times' claims that their "reporter" had no idea the claims were false. I expect more of that.)

You're missing that they're different dickweeds. The entire deal with progs and their internal power structure is that it's a big thunderdome to determine who is on top.

Western institutions, both government and private, are almost entirely lefty dickweeds, i.e. the globalists. Non-lefties are an also-ran in the West. The Russians, the Chinese, are similar but competing offspring of 1917 plus various hangers-on in South and Central America.

Then you have the muslims, the Indians, and the giant mass of whatever the fuck Africa is.

Those are the global power players.

Yeah, people who run the press equipment call it a 'target'. But not because they wanna shoot someone.

It's such a convoluted and internally contradictory mess that it possibly can't be done at this point.

A new law could help a lot, though. It would go like this:

Ace, that's the way it always goes. It's almost impossible to get the case assigned to a different trial judge, no matter how badly the judge fucked up or how biased he seems to be. Other than maybe hard proof of the judge taking bribes, you're stuck with the same judge no matter what.

Palin’s reason for filing suit was in the hopes of getting to the SCOTUS and having the standards for libel slashed (currently, actual malice must be proven). (In)Justice Clarence “Uncle Slappy” Thomas (and probably Scammy Alito) has expressed his desire to cut into the 1A protections granted in New York Times v Sullivan.

That last clause seems to be forgotten in many cases. When a judge gets overturned 3 times with the same defendant, the basic rules of fairness dictate that the defendant gets a different judge. When a federal judge gets overruled on Constitutional grounds 3-4 times, at what point does that constitute bad behavior, thus justifying removal?
It should be much easier to impeach and remove a federal judge than a POTUS.

Ace, that's the way it always goes. It's almost impossible to get the case assigned to a different trial judge, no matter how badly the judge fucked up or how biased he seems to be. Other than maybe hard proof of the judge taking bribes, you're stuck with the same judge no matter what.

Posted by: Accomack



The Pirates finally have a young, GREAT pitcher to build a contender with. Alas, the Pittsburgh Pirates will do Pittsburgh Pirate things. Winning is expensive. The ownership will have to actually pay their players if they start winning. That's bad. In 2 or 3 years, Paul Skenes will be traded to a contender (your welcome, Yankees) and cut payroll to $5 and complain that they are too poor to contend. It's a joke franchise. Probably why they are third place in rooting interests in a town with 3 pro teams. Four if you include the minor league soccer team they have. Which means they are fourth place in interest.

Judges in NYC state courts are elected. The only way to get elected is to be deep in the Democrap machine. That means ideological conformity. That means you do the machine's bidding unless you want to face a challenger next election.

This case is in federal court. Judges are appointed to federal court, so the sausage-making is different. Suffice to say that any federal judge appointed by Obama or Biden is gonna be a leftwing ideologue. Rakoff was appointed by Clinton. But see my post above about him being a leftwing ideologue.

291 You know what got Pavel released? The Emirates, where Pavel has dual citizenship, called up Macron and said they were suspending their purchase of 80 top line French Fighter jets for so long as Pavel remained in custody, and the they might reconsider any further purchases of military equipment from France.
Patel was released within 48 hours, it’s nice to have insanely wealthy and powerful friends.

That I don't know. There almost never is. Even if you ask for one, you almost never get one. That means not only are you stuck with the same asshole judge, but that asshole judge knows you tried to get rid of him. If you think he was an asshole before that . . . .

An appellate court is never just going to sua sponte remove a trial judge. There must have been a pending issue in the appeal for them to even comment on it.

I work with people who say similar things. My neighbor wants to flee to New Mexico with his wife (she's from there) before the election because he's fearful of what will happen. Didn't ask for details.

To the English police:
1. We threw you clowns out of our country in the 1700's.
2. We had to bail your sorry asses out in WW1.
3. We had to bail your sorry asses out in WW2.
4. 18 USC 241 makes it a felony for you to conspire with anyone else to oppress any of my Constitutional rights.
5. In TX any citizen may use deadly force to prevent the commission of a felony.
6. In TX it is perfectly legal to own both an AR-15 and 77 grain MK-262 sniper ammo for it. I own both.
7. If you set one foot on my property while trying to oppress my rights, I will make sure that is the last mistake your gay English ass ever makes.
8. The only thing the local authorities will say to me is: "Nice Shot".
9. If you find my posts offensive YOU ARE FREE TO BLOCK THEM AT YOUR BORDER. You are not free to silence me in my country.

That was the number one post out of more than 1000 on one of Bongino's podcasts last week.
