To support this argument, he implied that the fact that Flynt republished the ad multiple times proved the intent of Flynt. In contrast with Isaacman who referred to New York Times Co. v. Sullivan to support his argument, Grutman suggested that the ruling was irrelevant with Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell. Although Falwell could win under the ruling when the issue considered was libel involving factual statements, emotional harm based on intent was the main issue considered by Falwell. To withhold the tort of emotional distress that was ruled as invalid in a recent decision, Grutman defended it by saying that the decision was made by an inferior court, he did not view it as a good law, and there were other cases which supported the tort.

The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings. However, this is one situation where cutting off benefits with little or no notice could affect the well-being of the family or person. Any programs that offer they type of assistance people rely on to survive could benefit from pre-termination hearings, not just the welfare program. Welfare is one of the main public assistance programs, although I think housing assistance and food stamps might fall into the welfare category, they are also in need of a pre-termination hearing. In the Goldberg and Wheeler cases, California and New York did not want to give anyone a hearing

Together, they pored over clues and testimony. Gilbert says that she would send Reaves leads to follow up, but although he was sympathetic, nothing seemed to come of them.

If the statements made by Kyle were indeed false then he could have gotten in trouble because he would not be following the best practices for an autobiographical novel.

What got him in trouble for defamation was that during his book media tour he repeatedly name-dropped Ventura as the aggressor in their altercation.

Supreme Court, in Burstyn v. Wilson, declared that the right of Americans to communicate, and receive ideas must be given and the states and cities were given fair warning that the era of total state interest was over. The majority of the Court did not follow Justice Frankfurter and simply declare the New York law void for vagueness. Instead they declared that movies were entitled to free speech protection.
