Apparently if I make a critical comment about a public figure I can be sued for a million dollars. This is not a good precedent to set. It will not stand up in supreme court, because that court will preserve the 1st amendment; the very thing neo-authoritarians attack the most.
I would suggest it's the Second Amendment, which protects the First.
