#1 I hope it starts a trend.

#2 Sounds like she wants to go after any testicles and money the NYTs have left.

#3 this is obvious overreach and a court will almost certainly cut this request but if it leaves anything substantial, it will be embarrassing and probably costly to the NYtimes

Overreach was when Democrat party apparatchiks overwhelmed the small staff of the State of Alaska with FOIA requests while Palin was governor to the point where they couldn't get anything else done. Turnabout is fair play.

#4 They hate her. They always have. I think $75,000 is a paltry sum. She should sue for $75 million.

#5 Yes, Carlos Slim can afford it.

#6 $75,000? That's it? The NYT would have settled by now. Something's not right with that part of the story.

#7 Raj, $75,000 is the magic minimum number you have to ask for to qualify for this type of federal jurisdiction. The complaint says that she is entitled to an amount far in excess of $75,000.

#8 The discovery process itself will be interesting.

#9 Authoritarian leaning folks tend to keep detailed records of their malfeasance (I assume because they don't think they are doing anything wrong). I'm sure something will turn up.
