Subject: Re: Honoring Kirk's support for free speech
he doesn't need to subject himself to the headaches that come with complying with the NYT's requests for discovery about his business ventures.

At what point (iow: how soon) could the NYT start pressing for discovery even if not likely to be granted? Could they, for instance, file a motion tomorrow for discovery of the Jeffrey Epstein files? His bankruptcy proceedings? The contractors he’s stiffed? His conflicts of interest a the self-profiting he’s done since being elected?

Again, even if the court were to turn that down, there would be headlines about it; and in fact if that were to be legal, somehow, I would counsel them to file a new set of discovery options every day until the end of time , or perhaps shortly thereafter.
