The current system [which allows for defamation suits] discriminates against poorer people in another way; for their own speech is restricted, since they are less likely to disseminate true but derogatory knowledge about the wealthy for fear of having costly libel suits filed against them.
Other Dangers Loom on the Horizon
It is possible to conceive of future cases in which defamation law could be used to enforce modern notions of political correctness.
For example, accusing another person of mental illness is often considered to be a type of defamation per se. So, what happens when a person states that transgender people suffer from a type of mental illness? Potentially, those who express this opinion could be sued for defamation in court by those who claim they were harmed by being cast as mentally ill.

Interesting, Counselor...
What's your "defamation / muckraking" position on very public Dem reps incitement (Maxine Waters for one)? On Hollywood's public social media threats & comments?
And especially your opinion with respect to the President edict and that of certain govt officials and agencies who now officially characterize/charge Whites, Conservatives and Republicans as being "Terrorists"?

And your assessment of the "journalistic" practice by the New York Times, WaPo, CNN and MSNBC and license to libel, slander, defame and muckrack at will, with impunity?
