I get that the Amerkins are as precious (nearly) about the First Amendment as they are about the Second, but I'm surprised that injunctive relief isn't available in a case like this. It seems that in the US you can libel somebody all you like, as long as you have deep pockets. Or you're willing to hide your assets and declare bankruptcy, Alex Jones-style.

Were E. Jean to sue Trump just for the speech he gave in northwest Georgia the other day, she probably would have had to sue in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
But now that he libeled her on Squawk Box, which is anchored in Manhattan, she likely may now sue in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
If she does that, the case would be assigned to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan as a case related to the earlier two cases that produced $88.3 million in damages awards
