The Impeachment of President Trump

[Loki]

Right, just like you want the freedom of association part of the first amendment protected (see protests).

Or for that matter, your acceptance of the government (i.e., Trump) punishing people for their speech.

Just today I saw a news article where a newspaper (Der Stern) stated that they retracted an article because it was critical of someone (*cough*). And even though it had been double-checked by lawyers, they simply couldn't run the risk of a lawsuit because even when they would win the suit, they'd still face prohibitively large costs.

So much for "Freedom of Speech".

"This route has been blacked out for legal reasons," it says on three black pages in the digital edition of Stern published on Tuesday. In the print version published on Wednesday, readers will find the reportage of a US correspondent for the news magazine who visited a Trump hotel in Washington. When asked about a SZ, a spokeswoman for the publishing house Gruner + Jahr said that the blackening in the digital version, which is also available internationally, was a precautionary measure: Because the text contains critical tones, a lawsuit in the USA cannot be ruled out. Although he was legally approved in-house, "in case of a jurisprudence, Stern could incur considerable procedural costs" - even if you won a lawsuit. For this reason, when making critical reports about people or institutions in the United States, consider whether they are also available there.

GT is getting better. It´s especially good with legal texts. I still use the services of certified translators for legal reasons, but I´m quite happy to use GT for work copies of texts in foreign languages that I can´t read (Polish for example)
