Sullivan County Democrat is "a semiweekly newspaper in Callicoon." [1] [2] [3]

The "twice weekly newspaper" [4] was established in 1891, [5] and has been "independently owned and operated by the same family since 1927." [6] Others, [7] [8] including The New York Times , cite their stories. [9] [3] In 2010, as her hometown newspaper, they biographied New York State Supreme Court Justice Judith Kaye. She had reached "mandatory retirement age," and they wrote: "Already the first woman on the high court, Kaye would become the first woman to hold its highest position – Chief Judge – when she was sworn in March 23, 1993." Kaye is an alumnus of a local school, Monticello High School (New York). [10]

New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision ruling that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution's freedom of speech protections limit the ability of American public officials to sue for defamation. The decision held that if a plaintiff in a defamation lawsuit is a public official or candidate for public office, not only must they prove the normal elements of defamation—publication of a false defamatory statement to a third party—they must also prove that the statement was made with "actual malice", meaning the defendant either knew the statement was false or recklessly disregarded whether it might be false.
