A federal court in Florida tossed out President Trump’s massive $15 billion defamation suit against the New York Times on Friday, ruling that the filing was far too long and not in line with proper procedure.
In a sharply worded order spanning four pages, U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday of Tampa instructed Trump to submit a revised version of the lawsuit within 28 days, with a maximum length of 40 pages.
“Alleging only two simple counts of defamation, the complaint consumes eighty-five pages,” the judge, who was appointed by President George H.W. Bush, wrote in his decision.
“Even assuming that each allegation in the complaint is true … — a complaint remains an improper and impermissible place for the tedious and burdensome aggregation of prospective evidence, for the rehearsal of tendentious arguments, or for the protracted recitation and explanation of legal authority putatively supporting the pleader’s claim for relief,” Merryday continued.
He went further, adding: “A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally or the functional equivalent of the Hyde Park Speakers’ Corner.”

This is bizarre.
I’ve personally reviewed complaints longer than that.
If a federal judge is too lazy to read an 85 page complaint, then this judge has no business being on the bench.
