Giuliani's defamation case reveals unsettling truths about justice. Despite the $150 million judgment against him, he filed for bankruptcy, delaying payment. This raises questions about the effectiveness of defamation law in a hyperpartisan era. The plaintiffs may only receive a fraction of the awarded amount due to Giuliani's financial situation. While defamation judgments offer some vindication, they may not fully deter disinformation. The hope is that holding liars accountable will lead to a more truthful political discourse. The case also highlights the need to defend victims of widespread lies and the larger truth. Protect Democracy is representing the plaintiffs in multiple lawsuits, testing the legal system's ability to address the challenges of the viral era. The plaintiffs have shown that justice can be achieved regardless of wealth or power.
