— Chicago’s mayor can’t be recalled under Illinois law. A new bill aims to change that. Rep. LaShawn Ford has been trying to get such a mechanism on the books since 2015, in the wake of the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald by then-Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke.

— According to my critics/opponents, conservative candidates on ballots in my precinct cannot win. According to my critics/opponents, a) I paint Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct as being more conservative than they want to be painted, b) I promote Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who are too conservative to win, and c) therefore, I cause Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct to lose. They stress that 10 of the 13 Republican candidates on the November 5, 2024 ballot in my precinct lost. In my defense, I stress that 11 of the 13 Republican candidates on that ballot in my precinct got more votes than their Democrat opponents got.

KCCI
— Group files lawsuit against Des Moines Register for ‘misleading subscribers’ with Iowa Poll (COMMENT: My critics/opponents disapprove of if not hate many, most, if not virtually all of the articles linked in my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter, and especially articles that promote personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, discouragement of vices, Second Amendment rights, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other conservative principles.)
https://www.kcci.com/article/des-moines-register-iowa-poll-class-action-lawsuit-2024/63361223
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A lawsuit has been filed against the Des Moines Register for “misleading subscribers” with its final 2024 Iowa Poll that showed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris leading Republican nominee — and eventual election winner — Donald Trump among likely voters just days before the election. The Center for American Rights, a Chicago-based nonprofit law firm, filed the suit in Polk County on behalf of a West Des Moines resident who “felt like the Register was disserving him and other readers when [the poll] ran and when its results were compared to the final outcome.” In a news release, the center states it is seeking certification as a class action lawsuit on behalf of all Des Moines Register subscribers. The complaint filed in Polk County alleges there are approximately 40,000 Des Moines Register subscribers on Sundays, the day the results of the final poll were published. The poll showed Harris with a lead of 3 percentage points among likely Iowa voters. Trump won the state with 57% of the vote to Harris’ 43%. The lawsuit alleges the Register “utterly failed to live up to” its mission statement of being a trustworthy news organization and says the Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer ignored red flags that should have indicated the results would be inaccurate. It cites a section of Iowa Code about consumer fraud. President-elect Trump filed a similar lawsuit against the Register regarding consumer fraud last month.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— The Second Circuit Revives Sarah Palin’s Defamation Suit Against The New York Times (COMMENT: Politics is nasty/vicious. My critics/opponents have their judgement-proof operatives and their judgement-proof dupes defame me. I should write about my critics/opponents and their operatives and dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://natlawreview.com/article/second-circuit-revives-sarah-palins-defamation-suit-against-new-york-times
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Although Palin ultimately succeeded on appeal, Palin’s broader efforts to have the Supreme Court revisit the “actual malice” requirement set by New York Times v. Sullivan may have hit a dead end. Public-figure defamation plaintiffs need to prove actual malice, which requires showing that an allegedly defamatory statement was made “with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.” Sullivan, 376 U.S. at 280. In St. Amant v. Thompson, the Supreme Court explained that proof that a defamatory article was published “recklessly, though not knowingly” is not sufficient to prove actual malice. Rather, the evidence must show that the defendant had “an awareness…of the probable falsity” of the publication. Later, in Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., the Court defined “reckless disregard of the truth” to mean “subjective awareness of probable falsity.” On appeal, Palin argued that “the actual malice standard is either no longer good law or should not apply to her case.” The Second Circuit rejected these arguments as barred by the “law of the case” doctrine because they were ripe for review at the time of Palin’s initial appeal but were not raised. Additionally, Palin challenged the district court’s ruling that, regardless of the First Amendment, she was required to prove actual malice as an element of her claim under New York’s amended Anti-SLAPP law, N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 76-a. The November 2020 amendment to New York’s Anti-SLAPP law imposes an actual malice fault standard in any action concerning the “exercise of the constitutional right of free speech in connection with an issue of public interest.” However, “because the First Amendment and New York’s amended Anti-SLAPP Statute share the same substantive requirement (that a public-figure defamation plaintiff must prove actual malice by clear and convincing evidence),” the Second Circuit stated, “we need not decide—and do not decide—whether the Anti-SLAPP Statute’s amendment applies retroactively.”)
