MORRISSEY, Plaintiff, V. Civil Action No. 3:19cv747-HEH WTVR,LLC d/b/a CBS 6, MARKHOLMBERG, and JOHN DOES 1-10 [WTVR Editors and Publishers], Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION (Granting Defendant's Motion to Dismiss) Plaintiff, Joseph D. Morrissey ("Morrissey"), is a well-known public figure in the Richmond, Virginia area.' In fact, the immediate lawsuit is the result of hyperbolic and arguably deprecating commentary by a Richmond television station during his candidacy for Mayor of the City of Richmond. Morrissey contends that the comments by WTVR,LLC ("CBS 6")reporter, Mark Holmberg ("Holmberg"), were false, defamatory, and insulting. He describes Holmberg's remarks as imputing his unfitness to serve as mayor and portraying him as a "stupid liar, who was a sex crazed maniac." 'A public figure is someone who has assumed a role of"special prominence in the affairs of society." Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U.S. 323, 345 (1974). Morrissey previously served as the elected Commonwealth's Attomey for the City of Richmond, Virginia and is a former member ofthe Virginia General Assembly.

Morrissey seeks $1,350,000 in damages.^ Defendant CBS 6("CBS 6")responds that the comments at issue were either the broadcaster's personal opinion of a public figure, which is "entitled to the broadest protection the First Amendment can afford," or factually true.

  • Nine Contests in Richmond Area Will Be Key to Fight for Control of Legislature
    Nine contests in Richmond area will be key to fight for control of legislature By ANDREW CAIN Richmond Times-Dispatch, Jun 14, 2019 For all the focus on former Del. Joe Morrissey’s upset of state Sen. Rosalyn Dance in Tuesday’s Democratic primary, the 16th Senate District has been in Democratic hands for decades. No Republican has even run for the seat since 1971. But contests for nine other Richmond-area seats — three in the state Senate and six in the House of Delegates — could be key to which party controls the legislature after the fall elections. “The Richmond region has been one of the more competitive regions in the state and is one of the real battlegrounds,” said Bob Holsworth, a longtime Virginia political analyst and former dean at Virginia Commonwealth University. “We have a whole set of races in the Richmond metropolitan area that are likely to be decisive in helping determine the balance of power in the legislature.” Following the recent resignations of state Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach, and Del. Matthew James, D-Portsmouth, to take jobs in Gov. Ralph Northam’s administration, Republicans hold a 20-19 edge in the Senate and a 51-48 edge in the House heading into the November elections. Holsworth said it is unclear whether President Donald Trump’s unpopularity in Virginia’s population centers will continue to drive Democratic turnout in off- year elections, or whether the scandals ensnaring top Democrats in Richmond will depress it. Turnout is key as Democrats try to hold several traditionally Republican House seats that the party picked up in the 2017 wave election.

A Long, Strange Trip: My First Year Challenging the Constitutionality of Obamacare Ilya Shapiro* I. INTRODUCTION When I joined the Cato Institute in September 2007, I didn’t real- ly know what I was getting myself into. It was my sixth job in just over four years out of law school — after clerking, a political campaign, two large firms, and a short stint as a rule-of-law adviser in Iraq — and now it was time for something completely different. The life of a think tank scholar is odd enough: you’re not an academic, but not a political player or activist either. The life of a think tanker specializ- ing in constitutional law is stranger still, particularly given my respon- sibility for Cato’s burgeoning amicus brief program. Sometimes I get to pretend I’m a scholar, sometimes an attorney, and sometimes a pundit.
