He should be permanently banned from public office. If he doesn't have any more understanding of the constitution than that, he has no business in government.

[edkretchmer]

In fact, we dont only have the right to criticize OUR government, I'd say we have a DUTY to criticize OUR government when something isn't right.

Chris Smith, the village attorney should be sued for malicious prosecution.. and disbarred!

[sharond]

He attempted to deprive her of her first Amendment rights under color law. He should be charged and tried.

[sinequanon]

This plaintiff is an ATTORNEY? Disbar immediately. If he knew it was a frivolous lawsuit and filed it anyway, he should be disbarred for that. If he thought it was viable, he should be disbarred for that.

[joeysfather]

Frivolous lawsuit, lawyer should be disbarred for even filing it.

[TheDandyMann]

She should be able to sue him for his bullying or at least hold him accountable for the wrongful defamation suit by him losing his position.

[UnicornOfDepression]

A lawyer who doesn't understand the 1st Amendment working for the government.
Fantastic.

[MrSlicky]

He just proved he's unfit to be in any type of public space.

[davidbenner]

Fire the village attorney. Remove his law license to practice law. Send the village attorney to prison for no less then forty years. Problem solved. In my opinion.

[loanokaharbor]

This is exactly what politicians are doing across the entire country now, intimidation and punishment for opinions expressed.

[jairmy]

That official needs to be removed from office for being a tiny, fragile bully

[artjackson]

I hope he was counter sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress for his frivolous SLAPP suit.

[Coyotesmilespergallon]

He should be punished or forced to pay her for trying to abuse his authority or license as an attorney

[Cander]

Who puts these ideas in these petty bureaucrats heads?

It’s madness.

[cryptonic]

Not understanding the law should exclude him from his role.

[Hustler]

But yet these criminals are still in their government position.

[michaelnizza]

I thought defamation suits for a politician were literally impossible? For years people said michelle obama was a man. No lawsuits. Dude needs to grow a pair.

[davedave]

Sue him for vexatious and frivolous litigation.

[booyahu]

If he can't handle honest criticism as a public representative, then he shouldn't be in the government position.
