Note that these are state laws. The Alex Jones judgment still has to wind its way through appeals, but like you say there's a good chance the cap will be protected by the Texas Constitution. Ohio (Oberlin) has a similar cap, but not necessarily the same protection for it. Missouri for example also had a cap, but it was held to violate the Missouri Constitution in 2014. The Missouri case[1] came up last month post-Alex Jones, and its "separation of powers" argument is interesting. There's a professor at Georgetown who thinks a similar argument could succeed in Texas[2], but Texas at least tried to amend their Constitution to allow the cap[3]. 1. https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=77893 https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=77893 2. https://twitter.com/HeidiLiFeldman/status/1555618063843721218 https://twitter.com/HeidiLiFeldman/status/155561806384372121... 3. https://twitter.com/EricColumbus/status/1555919948807028736 https://twitter.com/EricColumbus/status/1555919948807028736, but the seven replies at https://twitter.com/HeidiLiFeldman/status/1555941598206246914 https://twitter.com/HeidiLiFeldman/status/155594159820624691... find some flaws in the implementation
