<v Speaker 3>week of federal court in Austin issued in order postponing

<v Speaker 2>The justices rejected Donald Blankenship's appeal of a lower court's

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>decision to dismiss his defamation lawsuit against media outlets like

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.320

<v Speaker 2>in twenty fifteen of a federal conspiracy crime that is

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:32.360

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.960

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>sixty four in the pivotal case New York Times Versus Sullivan,

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>which placed strict restrictions on defamation claims by public officials

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>under the First Amendment safeguards for freedom of speech and

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 2>the press provided by the US Constitution. In a written opinion,

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:56.159

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.800

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:05.760
