>President Trump on Thursday again called Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas,” while slamming his potential Democratic opponents for the 2020 presidential race.
>He and his supporters have taken to calling her that name due to their skepticism that she, as claimed, has Native American ancestry.
>“Let’s say I’m debating Pocahontas, right? I promise you I’ll do this,” Trump said at a campaign-style rally in Montana. “I will take, you know, those little kits they sell on television for $2…and in the middle of the debate…we will take that little kit, but we have to do it gently because we’re in the #MeToo generation…we will slowly toss it hoping it doesn’t hit her…and we will say, ‘I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian.’”
Gotta love that Trump

>On November 2, 1962, Jim Garrison, the District Attorney for the Parish of New Orleans, held a press conference in which he issued a statement disparaging the judicial conduct of the eight judges of the Parish’s Criminal District Court. He attributed the backlog of pending cases to the judges’ inefficiency, laziness, and excessive vacations. Based on these statements, Garrison was tried and convicted of defamation under the Louisiana Criminal Defamation Statute, and the Supreme Court of Louisiana affirmed. Garrison appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and argued that the statute impermissibly infringed on his First Amendment rights to freedom of expression.
