The Supreme Court has denied a wealthy politician's request to rewrite defamation law, upholding the "actual malice" standard. This standard allows legitimate cases to proceed while preventing powerful individuals from silencing their critics. Meanwhile, a former conservative justice in Wisconsin has advised the GOP not to pursue the impeachment of a liberal justice. The US Supreme Court justices are also skeptical of the high bar for whistleblower lawsuits. In another case, the Supreme Court declined to take up a lawsuit led by Missouri to block the Biden administration's "social cost of carbon" measure. Additionally, the Court rejected an appeal brought by a West Virginia coal baron, upholding protections for news organizations facing defamation claims. Another former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice also advises against impeachment.
