Clarence Thomas declares war on New York Times v. Sullivan, arguably THE landmark First Amendment ruling of the 20th Century, which strictly limits defamation lawsuits against public figures and officials. (The case at hand is about Bill Cosby.) https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/021919zor_2dp3.pdf …

Oh, and who took this case to SCOTUS? None other than Donald Trump's libel lawyer. The president must be very happy with Clarence Thomas today.https://twitter.com/MikeSacksEsq/status/1049346291472453639 …
