Was wondering where the motion to strike was. Now we know.

This is Doogle's latest motion, a motion to strike pursuant to the state Anti-SLAPP statute.
If Doogle can make a prima facie case that his speech is protected (which he seems to have done) then under this statute the burden of proof shifts to the Charisma to show that the complaint is legally sufficient and supported by the facts. If Charisma fails to meet that burden then their complaint will be dismissed, with attorney fees and costs to defendant. I would expect all this to happen, if not sooner then certainly later.
As much as we enjoy seeing Doogle with his tit caught in the wringer, the fact is that free speech still gets some respect in many US courts, particularly when it is (at least superficially) idle internet chit chat. As I noted before, the clones aren't just innocently sharing opinions, but are in fact dedicated to destroying all educational free enterprise outside the reach of the government's iron fist. We all know what they are doing, but that's not what the complaint alleges. So unless or until it does, Doogle is going to get a walk.
