Joe's thoughts on Vic (after a crash course from Rackets):
Vic definitely suffered damage.
Joe would have sued Hanleia and rolled the dice with jurisdictional fuckery, on account she actually called him a pedophile.
"They're claiming Vic's suit was a SLAPP suit? Wow..."
"It's hard for me to believe none of his claims were meritorious."
"I don't know much about anti-SLAPP or the details, but I think he has a good chance in appeals."
He's not a fan of cancel culture.

Also, I think Nick's enthusiasm about the case is rubbing off on him. Could be interesting if he wants to noodle the Vic case too and brings a fresh perspective.
Also something I didn't know: Apparently Chupp's bad day wasn't anything related to a writ of mandamus, it was because Chupp didn't get appointed to the appeals court, and they apparently ghosted him when they denied him.
