        @chrisgeidner Perhaps worth mentioning: punitive damages are available in First Amendment lawsuits.

        @JoeDunman I mean, if it were a law review article, sure. I didn't go through damages, or statutes of limitations, or insurance coverage.

        @chrisgeidner That's not what I was getting at. Punitives significant because eventual liability for town/county could be many millions.

        @JoeDunman Well, I think that's sort of implied when you're talking about dozens of potential lawsuits, but, sure.
