Someone should show him this "47 U.S.C.A. s. 230(c)(1)". But then again, he only listens to himself.

Considering that he is a disbarred and disgraced ex-lawyer, that would probably be pretty difficult. I'd like to think you could line up a whole slew of character witnesses to testify that they think Jack is an incompetent, insane ex-lawyer. It would be like trying to sue for defamation when you've been arrested at three different Chuck-E-Cheeses. Jack would also have to prove actual damage to his reputation.
