Covington Catholic student's lawsuit against Washington Post: A 'significant case' or not? Experts weigh in
An attorney in the $250-million lawsuit filed by a Covington Catholic High School student and his family against The Washington Post told Fox News the colossal damages being sought are "appropriate in this circumstance" – and hinted liberal comedian Bill Maher could soon be served.
The comments from Todd McMurtry last week on "America's Newsroom" come as law experts are calling the suit – filed on behalf of 16-year-old Nicholas Sandmann "by and through his parents" Ted and Julie Sandmann – everything from a "significant case" to one bound to be thrown out.
"Other commentators have sought to say that our damages are too high, but when you think about that those damages never go away and live on the Internet forever, I think they are appropriate in this circumstance," McMurtry said.
Sandmann was at the center of a January firestorm when a viral video emerged showing a confrontation between Covington high schoolers wearing "Make America Great Again" hats and Native American activist Nathan Phillips at the March for Life in Washington, D.C. Footage that later emerged and showed a more complete record of the encounter revealed the standoff didn't unfold as many had initially assumed.
Earlier this month, Sandmann's attorneys sent preservation letters to more than 50 media organizations, celebrities and politicians – including The New York Times, CNN, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and actors Alyssa Milano and Jim Carrey -- the first step in possible libel and defamation lawsuits.
The Washington Post lawsuit is the first of its kind. It was filed on behalf of Sandmann by attorneys Lin Wood and McMurtry, with the latter saying more "will continue to roll out over the next 30 to 60 days." But the novel litigation also has many observers raising questions about the team's chance for success.

Donald Trump attacks Spike Lee over 'racist hit' during Oscars acceptance speech
President Trump on Monday blasted Spike Lee after the legendary director took a shot at him during his Oscars acceptance speech.
"Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!" Trump tweeted.
Lee, after winning Best-Adapted Screenplay for "BlacKkKlansman," on Sunday night urged viewers to make the "moral choice" in the 2020 presidential race, as Trump seeks re-election.
"When we regain our humanity it will be a powerful moment," the "Do The Right Thing" director read from his notes.
"The 2020 election is around the corner – let's all mobilize and be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate," Lee said.
The spat with the president comes after a tumultuous 24 hours for Lee, who appeared to try to storm out of the Dolby Theatre after it was announced that "Green Book" won the award for Best Picture.
Lee, a lifelong New York Knicks basketball fan, compared the "Green Book" win to a referee making "the wrong call."
In a stunning move shortly after "Green Book" was announced the winner, the director walked toward the back of the auditorium, according to a reporter for Deadline.
He eventually got back to his seat and got into what appeared to be an intense conversation with the writer Jordan Peele. The report said that Lee turned his back to the stage during the speech.
"I'm snakebitten," Lee said while backstage. "I mean, every time somebody is driving somebody, I lose. But, they changed the seating arrangement. But, in '89 I didn't get nominated, so this one we did."
Lee's "Do the Right Thing" lost to "Driving Miss Daisy" in 1990. He told New York Magazine years later that "when Driving Miss Motherf—-ing Daisy won Best Picture, that hurt. [But] no one's talking about "Driving Miss Daisy" now."

Rep. Adam Schiff: Democrats could sue if Robert Mueller's Russia report isn't made public
WASHINGTON – As speculation continues to mount over when special counsel Robert Mueller will finish his investigation, Democrats are planning a course of action if the findings of the probe aren't made public.
It's been nearly three years since federal investigators started investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election and potential collusion by Donald Trump's campaign. And after filing charges against about three dozen people, things appear to be close to wrapping up.
But Democrats have grown increasingly skeptical over whether the results of the investigation will be made public and are ramping up a plan to make sure the public will see the results.
Rep. Adam Schiff, who heads the House Intelligence Committee, told ABC News on Sunday that he and other Democrats have a host of plans to fight for a full disclosure of the report.
"Well, we will obviously subpoena the report, we will bring Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress, we will take it to court if necessary," the California Democrat told host George Stephanopoulos. "In the end, I think the department understands that they're going to have to make this public."
Schiff said he and other Democrats would push not just to release Mueller's report, which would be filed confidentially to the attorney general, and explain his office's rationale on whether or not to prosecute individuals. But lawmakers would also seek to make public the "underlying evidence" attached to the investigation.
That evidence would include information compiled throughout the probe that didn't necessarily lead to criminal charges that could be proved in a court of law.
"We can't tell the country fully what happened without it," Schiff said.
Stephanopoulos pointed out that under Justice Department policy, the department normally does not release information in its investigations that don't lead to criminal charges.
But Schiff argued the department set a new "precedent" with commenting and releasing a slew of records in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
"This was a new precedent that they were setting and they were going to have to live by this precedent whether it was a Congress controlled by the Democrats or Republicans, so they're going to have to abide by that," Schiff said.
Last month, then-acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said the inquiry was "close to being completed." It was the first time anyone familiar with its inner workings had offered even a hint in public of its likely trajectory. He did not elaborate.
New Attorney General William Barr told senators during his confirmation hearings that he would make public as much as possible about Mueller's report. Several Democratic senators questioned why the entire report – other than confidential investigative material – wouldn't be made public.
Meanwhile, Trump's legal team has been bracing for the delivery of the report. Lead attorney Rudy Giuliani told USA TODAY on Thursday that "we expect something in the next two weeks."
Giuliani told USA TODAY that it's been "weeks" since Mueller's team has contacted the president's attorneys, and there has been no further discussion about obtaining additional testimony from the president for about a month.
He said the extended period of "silence" has the president's lawyers preparing for Mueller's required notification to Barr that the special counsel's work has been completed.
On whether the report should be made public, President Trump said the decision was "totally up to" Barr.

Democrats unwilling to stand up to Ocasio-Cortez, 'tell her no,' Rush Limbaugh says
Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Monday, saying she was not "any different" than the children who confronted Sen. Dianne Feinstein in her office last week after the New York Democrat asked "is it okay to still have children?"
"So Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks it's time to stop having kids because of climate change. The world is not going to be livable. It's not gonna be worth living in if we don't make drastic changes. And she just keeps spewing this stuff. And there's nobody to tell her no. There isn't a single person in the Democrat Party with any guts to tell her no," Limbaugh said on his daily radio show.
"They've bought totally the indoctrination of climate change," Limbaugh told his audience, asking out loud why young liberals are fascinated with issues like Mars and rockets among other things.
or childlike existence. I mean, we're gonna play the audio sound bites of these young kids, 11-year-olds, 10-year-olds that stormed into Dianne Feinstein's office to tell her what-for about climate change. And I don't think Cortez is any different than them."
Feinstein, D-Calif., was confronted by a group of school children Friday at her San Francisco office, urging her to support the Green New Deal. Feinstein rebuffed the children telling them, "I know what I'm doing."
Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram Live over the weekend and brought up the "moral" issue of deciding whether to have children due to climate change and mounting student loan debt.
"Our planet is going to face disaster if we don't turn this ship around," Ocasio-Cortez told her 2.5 million followers. "And so, it's basically like, there is a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult and it does lead, I think young people, to have a legitimate question. Ya know, should—is it okay to still have children?"
Limbaugh called out members of the Democratic party and others for not confronting Ocasio-Cortez for continuing to make remarks on issues he believes she doesn't understand.
"Regardless of Cortez's ignorance and her just blatantly being wrong about practically everything she is passionate about, there's nobody on the side of reason who can combat her ideas. I'm talking about in electoral politics. Her ideas take off because there's nobody willing to say, 'You don't know what you're talking about. Be quiet, come back when you grow up,'" Limbaugh said.
Limbaugh also found it amusing that she was cooking in her apartment during her Instagram live session, calling her out for benefitting from the very things he believes she is advocating against.
"Her appliances run on gas or electricity. The produce we assume that she's eating is brought to her by trucks that are fueled with gasoline or diesel. Her apartment is nice and warm, and there's not a solar panel anywhere around, and no windmill. She's got this really nice, warm, cozy life, easy access to food because of the massive infrastructure born of fossil fuels, and she wants to rip it apart," Limbaugh added.

Donald Trump attacks Spike Lee over 'racist hit' during Oscars acceptance speech
President Trump on Monday blasted Spike Lee after the legendary director took a shot at him during his Oscars acceptance speech.
"Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!" Trump tweeted.
Lee, after winning Best-Adapted Screenplay for "BlacKkKlansman," on Sunday night urged viewers to make the "moral choice" in the 2020 presidential race, as Trump seeks re-election.
"When we regain our humanity it will be a powerful moment," the "Do The Right Thing" director read from his notes.
"The 2020 election is around the corner – let's all mobilize and be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate," Lee said.
The spat with the president comes after a tumultuous 24 hours for Lee, who appeared to try to storm out of the Dolby Theatre after it was announced that "Green Book" won the award for Best Picture.
Lee, a lifelong New York Knicks basketball fan, compared the "Green Book" win to a referee making "the wrong call."
In a stunning move shortly after "Green Book" was announced the winner, the director walked toward the back of the auditorium, according to a reporter for Deadline.
He eventually got back to his seat and got into what appeared to be an intense conversation with the writer Jordan Peele. The report said that Lee turned his back to the stage during the speech.
"I'm snakebitten," Lee said while backstage. "I mean, every time somebody is driving somebody, I lose. But, they changed the seating arrangement. But, in '89 I didn't get nominated, so this one we did."
Lee's "Do the Right Thing" lost to "Driving Miss Daisy" in 1990. He told New York Magazine years later that "when Driving Miss Motherf—-ing Daisy won Best Picture, that hurt. [But] no one's talking about "Driving Miss Daisy" now."
