Reply #64: Even if he DID have a valid cause of action

[Bake]

(which I don't think he does here), there are other factors that go into a decision of whether to file a lawsuit.

Assuming, arguendo, that he DID make it past a motion to dismiss on the various defenses discussed here, Rall is NOT the plaintiff you want to bring this lawsuit. Frankly, a jury of average people is going to despise him, and think this is just a pissing contest between two pundits (which it IS), and they're going to take it out on Ted for wasting THEIR time.

And if I were Coulter's lawyer (which I'd never do), I'd make damn sure the jury saw some of Rall's other work, which a lot of folks (even folks HERE) find offensive.

Bottom line, even if he gets to a jury (which he won't), Rall loses. And then we all have to listen to mAnnthrax gloat.

And as I stated elsewhere in this thread, woe be unto all of us if Rall wins, because the chill on speech will be palpable.
