Lowcountry Councilman Sues Democrats For Defamation

The Left learned long ago that “the process itself is punishment” when it came to suing their political adversaries in order to – at a bare minimum- silence them and others who might think about speaking or acting out against them. Since very few of those lawsuits ever got tossed out of court with attorneys’ fees being granted against them, it emboldened them to push the envelope – especially in areas that they effectively controlled the court and the jury pools. Limp-wristed beta male Republicans would cry foul, but rarely did any more than that. But recently, some Republicans made of sterner stuff have been starting to fight back by giving them a taste of their very own medicine. Which is the only thing that works against a group whose craven desire for absolute power trumps all other concerns such as honesty and decency. You see they have no conscience when it comes to shamelessly lying- especially on the floor of a legislative body because of so-called “speech and debate” clause immunity which makes it effectively impossible to sue them for slander and libel. But I say it’s time for the limits and contours of that immunity to be tested further in court.
