“[T]he burden of proof relating to causation is divided between the parties in First Amendment tort cases. To make a prima facie showing of causation the plaintiff must show only that the defendant’s conduct was a sufficient condition of the plaintiffs injury. The defendant can rebut, but only by showing that his conduct was not a necessary condition of the harm — the harm would have occurred anyway.”
