That's... not how it works. They absolutely can sue, but they're not supposed to be able to win (or the case ought to be thrown, not completely sure). With all the current bullshit I'm not sure what would happen, though.

While you are pedantically correct, I was speaking with the understanding that frivolous lawsuits can be ignored. Like, you could sue a person you've never met for stealing your intellectual property that you don't have with absolutely no evidence or for wearing a blue shirt but no one would reasonably count those as actual suits. Defamation requires falsehoods based on precedent and case law so a suit that alleges defamation when the person spoke no lies is not a reasonable suit and doesn't really count
