Appeals court revives Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against New York Times
Source: CNN
A federal appeals court on Tuesday reversed a lower court's decision to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by Sarah Palin against The New York Times, giving the former Alaskan governor another chance to square off with the newspaper.
In its decision, the appeals court ruled that district court Judge Jed Rakoff, who dismissed the case in August 2017, had "erred in relying on acts outside the pleadings to dismiss the complaint."
The court said it further concluded that the amended complaint from Palin, who was also the Republican nominee for vice president in 2008, "plausibly states a claim for defamation and may proceed to full discovery."
As a result, the appeals court sent the case back to the district court for "further proceedings consistent with" its opinion.

Thanks, McCain.
Shes your fault, you fuck.
Trump is the result of the door you and your crew opened.
Frankly, Im glad youre dead since you nearly never did a patriotic thing.
To be clear, your service and strength as a POW are exemplary. After your entry into politics, you diminished yourself. Rot in hell.

his "maverick" claim comes from the fact that he was such a colossal shit head as a person and was that way to everyone. so because he didn't play nice with fellow repukes, he was labeled a "maverick".
he was a piece of shit when he was alive and he's still a piece of shit dead.

This was a unanimous decision joined by Denny Chin (Obama nominee) and John F. Keenan, a Reagan nominee to the SDNY court who was designated to this case.
