Palin v. The New York Times Company is now before a district court in New York, and, regardless of the outcome, is almost certainly headed for the Supreme Court.

Before the shooting, Sarah Palin’s political action committee circulated a map of targeted Democrats that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs.

It depicted electoral districts, not individual Democratic lawmakers, beneath stylized cross hairs
