Trump’s use of tort law is less like justice and more like extortion. Trump has used law suits to the destruction of many businesses and livelihoods. It seems to me tort law needs to be reviewed to prevent its misuse, especially when used for political purposes.
Thank you for protecting freedom of speech and access to information without a pay wall. Poor people vote and call politicians too! 👍 I have a $24k /year earnings cap. Federal Government takes excess. That policy promotes poverty or illegal work.
