None other than the incompetent and terminally stupid, Larry Klayman.

‘Sheriff Joe’ and Larry Klayman Sue The New York Times for $147.5 Million

Larry Klayman, a right-wing activist and attorney, and “Sheriff Joe” Arpaio, a failed Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona, have filed a legal complaint against The New York Times alleging that the paper defamed Arpaio by publishing a column about his loss in which writer Michelle Cottle, a member of the Times’ editorial board, called Arpaio a “sadistic man.” The lawsuit seeks $147.5 million in damages.

1. Larry Klayman is a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

He has a long history of bizarre and almost always unsuccessful litigation on behalf of the fringiest right-wing clients; he's been banned from a couple of courts, suspended by the D.C. bar, and once sued his own mother. He seems to love defamation cases but he always loses them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Klayman

Hey, Larry, didja read New York Times v. Sullivan when you were in law school? Might want to go back and have another look at that one...
