OP
A federal judge just sumamrily struck Trump's complaint against the New York Times, calling it, essentially, garbage.

Yeah, but all he really did was tell them to shorten it. They can refile within 30 days. nt

I was disappointed because the title made me think the decision was on substantive grounds.

Yep - I know. My intention was that he was hoping for another judge who had her sense of the law...and loyalty.

He filed in the same court he had to file in last time. It's a matter of correct jurisdiction, not judge shopping.

I don't know, all the more puzzling that he filed it in the same middle district he filed against the NYT last year.

He won't appeal. He'll refile a 40 page complaint in place of his 85 page complaint

I would love to see trump appeal this ruling but it is more likely that he will refile

Predictable. When trump appeals he'll get the same SCOTUS ruling he got in his 2024 suit.

He'll appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, lose there, then to SCOTUS. Wasting valuable court time losing

trump was never going to be deposed in this case and so he may well appeal

Exactly. All the more reason to see his pattern and slap a fine on him for filing a SLAPP suit.

I expect that the defendants will invoke the NY Anti-Slapp suit law against Trump.

Twas a stupid lawsuit without merit. DonOLD Rump should be fined $97523689532.99 for filing it !!!!!!

There was no fighting back. The judge ruled on his own motion. And its just a temporary ruling.
