Ruling: Nick Sandmann's $275 Million Defamation Lawsuit Against NBCUniversal May Proceed

Eat a bag of 275 million dicks, NBC.

U.S. District Court Judge William Bertelsman dismissed parts of the lawsuit while allowing discovery on allegations that the network’s coverage defamed the teen by reporting that he “blocked” Native American elder Nathan Phillips in a Jan. 18 encounter at the Lincoln Memorial.

"[T]he court finds that the statements that plaintiff 'blocked' Phillips or did not allow him to retreat, if false, meet the test of being libelous per se under the definition quoted above," said Judge Bertelsman in his order.

Not to brag, but I went ballistic about his original ruling dismissing all charges against WaPo and CNN, specifically noting that whether or not Sandmann "blocked" or "approached" the Lying Indian were factual questions that could, undeniably, constitute defamation.

Maybe some real lawyers yelled hell into this doddering liberal fool and let him know he was embarrassing himself and making himself eligible for an impeachment based on gross incompetence.
