The blog post Mann is suing over is https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/football-and-hockey-mark-steyn/ https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/football-and-hockey-ma... . I think it should be protected by the 1st Amendment. In arguing that the Supreme Court should take up the case, Justice Alito wrote this: "Climate change has staked a place at the very center of this Nation’s public discourse. Politicians, journalists, academics, and ordinary Americans discuss and debate various aspects of climate change daily — its causes, extent, urgency, consequences, and the appropriate policies for addressing it. ... The core purpose of the constitutional protection of freedom of expression is to ensure that all opinions on such issues have a chance to be heard and considered. I do not suggest that speech that touches on an important and controversial issue is always immune from challenge under state defamation law, and I express no opinion on whether the speech at issue in this case is or is not entitled to First Amendment protection. But the standard to be applied in a case like this is immensely important."
