save the common sense no-nonsense straight talkin for your geriatric wife and try actually engaging with an issue.
it's NOT legal in the state of california to file a slapp lawsuit like the one trump did as cited above. and guess what? he got called out for it and he got punished. and he said he thinks that's unfair and he wants to change libel law to be more favorable to plaintiffs.
to use your analogy, this would be like if it was illegal to trip, some player constantly tripped and had penalties left and right, said player said "well i think that's not fair and one day when i'm commissioner i'll change the rules to make tripping legal", and you voted for him while still maintaining some weird cognitive dissonance that tripping is wrong
It's hard to keep up with the rules in the US so - there you go. It would be more like - it's ok to trip between the 20 and the end zone in the 4th quarter when you are behind in score but you are not playing any team in CA.
