An End Run Around the First Amendment: „Libel Tourists‟ Take Aim Overseas
An End Run Around the First Amendment: „Libel Tourists‟ Take Aim Overseas By Ryan Feeney 2008 Pulliam Kilgore Intern Bruce W. Sanford Bruce D. Brown Laurie A. Babinski BAKER & HOSTETLER LLP Washington, D.C. Counsel to the Society of Professional Journalists September 2008 In the throes of the American Civil Rights movement as Southern blacks flexed their political might against segregation, a city commissioner in Alabama sued the country‟s most prominent newspaper, The New York Times. L.B. Sullivan‟s libel suit sought to silence the implication of his critics that he was part of a racist Southern oligarchy responsible for the violent suppression of black protests in Montgomery. It failed, and an uniquely American brand of free speech was born. In deciding that landmark free-speech case, New York Times v. Sullivan, 1 the U.S. Supreme Court noted how libel suits such as Sullivan‟s threatened “the very existence of an American press virile enough to publish unpopular views on public affairs.” Throughout modern American history, linking a person to an unpopular group has often led to a rash of libel suits against the press. It happened with communism in the 1940s, organized crime in the 1970s, and homosexuality in the 1980s under the stigmatizing glare of the AIDS epidemic. Yet in the more than four decades since the New York Times decision, American libel plaintiffs have found it acutely difficult to muzzle the press. But these free speech protections apply only on American soil, which means they cannot be used against the latest wave of libel litigants who bring suits overseas – foreigners accused of terrorism ties. -

LILI LEVI* The Problem of Trans-National Libelt Forum shopping in trans-nationallibel cases-"libel tourism"- has a chilling effect on journalism, academic scholarship,and scien- tific criticism. The United States and Britain (the most popular venue for such cases) have recently attempted to address the issue legisla- tively. In 2010, the United States passed the SPEECH Act, which prohibits recognition and enforcement of libel judgments from juris- dictions applying law less speech-protective than the First Amendment. In Britain, consultation has closed and the Parliamen- tary Joint Committee has issued its report on a broad-ranginglibel reform bill proposed by the Government in March 2011. This Article questions the extent to which the SPEECH Act and the Draft Defama- tion Bill will accomplish their stated aims. -

Introduction: Romney’s Dilemma Mitt Romney woke up on the morning of September 11, 2012, with big hopes for this day – that he’d stop the slow slide of his campaign for the presidency. The political conventions were in his rear-view mirror, and the Republican nominee for the White House was trailing President Obama in most major polls. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released at the start of the week, the former Massachusetts governor’s previous 1-point lead had flipped to a 6-point deficit.1 “Mr. Obama almost certainly had the more successful convention than Mr. Romney,” wrote Nate Silver, the polling guru and then-New York Times blogger.2 While the incumbent’s gathering in Charlotte was marked by party unity and rousing testimonials from Obama’s wife, Michelle, and former President Bill Clinton, Romney’s confab in Tampa had fallen flat. -
